Low-Intensity Endurance Exercise for Lung Cancer-Related Fatigue

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial will assign lung cancer patients with cancer-related fatigue to three groups: a non-exercise control, a 30-minute daily low-intensity continuous endurance program, or a 30-minute daily low-intensity interval endurance program, five days a week. The study will measure outcomes such as fatigue, quality of life, mitochondrial function markers, and body composition, to see if exercise can influence cellular and bioelectrical parameters related to fatigue. Participants will be adults 20 and older, recruited in Taipei, with exercise sessions supervised to maintain prescribed heart-rate targets. The trial tests whether physiological changes mediate improvement in fatigue and whether personality traits relate to adherence.
