Abstract :
[en] Objective: Nowadays, the number of cancer survivors continues to grow. Physical activity is effective in increasing their quality of life. There is a paucity of systematic reviews focusing only on the effects of aerobic exercise on cancer survivor's quality of life and there is little information about the most effective exercise intensity. The aim of this review is to investigate the effects of supervised aerobic training on the quality of life in cancer survivors. Additionally, the effect size of different training intensities will be presented. The hypothesis is that aerobic exercise will increase the quality of life and the most effective exercise intensity will be light to moderate. Data source: Literature search was performed using Medline/Ovid, APA PsycInfo and Scopus on the 6th February 2020. This study was subsequently updated to include studies published between the second week of February 2020 (6th February) and the third week of June 2021 (22 June 2021). Two authors independently screened the papers based on the titles and abstract, and when appropriate based on the full text. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement was followed. Study selection: Inclusion criteria were: adult cancer survivors, supervised (by professionals) aerobic exercise only, validated questionnaires to assess quality of life. The articles had to be written in English or French. Results: 10 papers were included. All studies, with the exception one, found significant improvements in quality of life. There was no correlation between the improvements and the exercise intensity. Conclusion: The present review demonstrated the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in improving quality of life in cancer survivors. Influence of exercise intensity is yet to be found.
