ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of 8 weeks of resistance exercise on body composition, one-repetition maximum strength (1RM), cancer-related fatigue (CRF), and quality of life (QOL) in cancer survivors. The study subjects were 10 cancer survivors who were five years or less post-cancer treatment and had been cleared by their doctors to participate in resistance exercise. They performed resistance training for 60 minutes per session, twice a week, for eight weeks. As measurement variables, Body composition was measured using InBody270 with BIA method to measure Wt, SMM, BFM, and %BF; 1RM was measured using Ronfic miniplus to measure SCP, SR, BS, and DL postures; CRF was measured using FACIT-F questionnaire; and QOL was measured using FACT-G questionnaire. Data were processed using SPSS (ver. 29.0) to calculate the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the variables measured before and after exercise, and paired t-tests were used to test for differences in means between the pre- and post-periods. The results showed that all body composition variables were not significantly different, and 1RM increased SCP, SR, BS, and DL. In addition, CRF was significantly reduced, and the PWB, EWB, FWB, and TS scores of the QOL items were significantly increased, but there was no effect on SWB. In conclusion, resistance exercise can positively contribute to the recovery of quality of life after cancer treatment by improving maximal muscle strength and reducing cancer-related fatigue in cancer survivors.
