Low-Intensity Endurance Exercise to Help 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

In this randomized trial, adults with lung cancer and cancer-related fatigue are assigned to either no exercise, or low-intensity endurance training (continuous or interval) for 12 weeks to see if it improves mitochondrial function, body composition, fatigue, and quality of life. The study measures mitochondrial DNA content, mitochondrial function markers, bioelectrical impedance phase angle, fatigue levels, and quality of life. Participants exercise about 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, at light to very light effort levels, with warm-up and cool-down. The trial is conducted at Taipei Medical University and led by the institution with no additional collaborating sites listed.
