WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Exercise can improve the health, energy as well as well-being of cancer patients after they've completed their main cancer treatment, a recent review finds. University of Hong Kong researchers analyzed the results of 34 clinical trials that examined the effects of material activity among adult patients with breast, prostate, gynecologic, colorectal, gastric or lung cancer. The study was published online Feb. 1 in BMJ. There were an average of 93 patients in each trial, which included aerobic, resistance as well as strength training. The patients' average age was 55, as well as the training lasted roughly 13 weeks. Breast cancer patients showed improvements in blood sugar control, body mass index (BMI) as well as body weight, material functions such as lower limb strength, mental health problems such as fatigue as well as depression, as well as quality of life. Patients with other types of cancer who were physically active experienced improvements in BMI as well as body weight, material function such as oxygen consumption as well as hand-grip strength, depression as well as quality of life. Dissimilar types as well as levels of exercise had specific effects. For example, breast cancer patients found that aerobic exercise plus resistance was much more effective on material fitness, emotional fitness, overall well-being as well as fears about breast cancer than aerobic activity alone. The researchers as well as found that younger patients seemed to gain more benefit from exercise, but said this finding was not entirely conclusive because younger patients could exercise for longer periods of time. The findings show that "quality of life was a cloudless significant benefit of material activity as well as that clinically, there were substantial positive effects on material functions as well as quality of life," the researchers concluded in a journal news release. -- Robert Preidt  Copyright © 2012 HealthDay.
