AbstractCancer and associated medical treatments affect patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by decreasing functional dimensions of physical, social, cognitive, and emotional well-being, while increasing short and late-term symptoms. Exercise, however, is demonstrated to be a useful therapy to improve cancer patients' and survivors’ HRQoL, yet the effectiveness of high-intensity training (HIT) exercise is uncertain. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyse the effects of HIT on HRQoL dimensions in cancer patients and survivors as well as evaluate the optimal prescription of HIT. The search followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA) and examined Web of Science and PubMed (Medline) databases. Data were analysed utilizing Review Manager Software. Twenty-two articles were included in the systematic review and 17 in the meta-analysis. Results showed HIT improved global quality of life, physical functioning, role functioning, social functioning, cognitive functioning, fatigue, pain, dyspnea, and insomnia, compared to an inactive control group, yet no differences were found between HIT and low to moderate-intensity exercise interventions. Particular improvements in HRQoL were observed during cancer treatment and with a training duration of more than eight weeks, a frequency of 2 days/week, and a volume of at least 120 min/week, including 15 min or more of HIT. Our findings whilst encouraging, highlight the infancy of the extant evidence base for the role of HIT in the HRQoL of cancer patients and survivors.

The search followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA) and examined Web of Science and PubMed (Medline) databases. Data was analysed utilizing Review Manager Software. Twenty-two articles were included in the systematic review and seventeen in the meta-analysis. Results showed HIT improved global quality of life, physical functioning, role functioning, social functioning, cognitive functioning, fatigue, pain, dyspnoea, and insomnia, compared to an inactive control group. Whereas no differences were found in contrast to low to moderate-intensity exercise compared to inactive controls. Particular improvements in HRQoL were observed during the cancer treatment and with the following prescription: a training duration of more than eight weeks, a frequency of 2 days/week, a volume of at least 120 minutes/week including 15 minutes or more of HIT. Our findings whilst encouraging, highlight the infancy of the extant evidence base for the role of HIT in the HRQoL of cancer patients and survivors.

Abstract Background: Falling is a major problem in older adults that may significantly reduce health and quality of life (QOL). Body dysfunctions that include depression, cognitive decline and executive dysfunctions may elevate fall risk and impair daily activities and QOL. Yet, most studies evaluate these body dysfunctions using laboratory measures in clinical settings. The present study aimed to: (1) compare these body dysfunctions between high/low risk fallers (2) examine the relationship between these body dysfunctions among the high risk fallers (3) explore the specific contribution of fall risk as a mediator between depression, executive dysfunctions and daily life. Methods: Participants were 123 older adults who live in the community. Depression and cognitive status were measured by the GDS-15 and the MoCA. Fall risk was determined by a questionnaire supported by the Time Up and Go test (TUG). Executive functions (EF) were assessed by the BRIEF-A and the aEFPT medication management assessment. Daily activity performance was measured by the Barthel Index of ADL and the Instrumental ADL Scale. QOL was measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Questionnaire. Results: High fall risk was prevalent among 32% of the sample. High risk fallers had significantly lower cognitive level, higher depression, lower EF, lower daily activity performance and lower QOL. Among the high risk group, lower EF as measured in BRIEF-A scales correlated with lower performance of daily activities and lower QOL. SEM model revealed that fall risk mediated between depression, executive dysfunctions and daily life. Conclusions: Depression and executive dysfunctions are more prevalent in older adults with high fall risk and are significantly related to their daily activity performance and to their QOL. Community fall-prevention and rehabilitation programs should screen for fall risk and related body dysfunctions as expressed during daily activity performance and understand their impacts on people’s QOL.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training and continuous low to moderate intensity training on quality of life, functional capacity and cardiovascular disease risk factors in cancer survivors.MethodsCancer survivors within 24 months post-diagnosis were randomly assigned into the low-volume high-intensity interval training group (n = 8) or the continuous low to moderate intensity training group (n = 8) group for 36 sessions (12 weeks) of supervised exercise. The low-volume high-intensity interval training (LVHIIT) group performed 7 × 30 s intervals (≥85% maximal heart rate) and the continuous low to moderate intensity training (CLMIT) group performed continuous aerobic training for 20 min (≤55% maximal heart rate) on a stationary bike or treadmill.ResultsSignificant improvements (time) were observed for 13 of the 23 dependent variables (ES 0.05–0.61,p ≤ 0.05). An interaction effect was observed for six minute walk test (18.53% [32.43–4.63] ES 0.50,p ≤ 0.01) with the LVHIIT group demonstrating greater improvements.ConclusionThese preliminary findings suggest that both interventions can induce improvements in quality of life, functional capacity and selected cardiovascular disease risk factors. The LVHIIT program was well tolerated by the participants and our results suggest that LVHIIT is the preferred modality to improve fitness (6MWT); it remains to be seen which intervention elicits the most clinically relevant outcomes for patients. A larger sample size with a control group is required to confirm the significance of these findings.
