Exercise in cancer patients is safe and can improve a range of outcomes including cancer-related fatigue, physical functioning and quality of life. Preclinical trials suggest an acute exercise bout during chemotherapy infusion may improve the treatment efficiency. It would also present an additional opportunity for supervised exercise. However, there is little human evidence for efficacy. The current project will investigate the potential for intra-infusion exercise in patients receiving chemotherapy.
