Effects of high-intensity training on the quality of life of cancer patients and survivors: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Abstract Cancer 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 usefu...
