We compared the effects of high- vs low-to-moderate-intensity exercise with or without ... -
Does inflammation markers or treatment type moderate exercise intensity effects on changes in muscle strength in cancer survivors participating in a 6-month combined resistance- and endurance exercise program? Results from the Phys-Can trial
Henriksson, Anna; Strandberg, Emelie; Stenling, Andreas; Mazzoni, Anne-Sophie; Sjövall, Katarina; Börjeson, Sussanne; Raastad, Truls; Demmelmaier, Ingrid; Berntsen, Sveinung; Nordin, Karin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Resistance exercise has a beneficial impact on physical function for patients receiving oncological treatment. However, there is an inter-individual variation in the response to exercise and the tolerability ... -
