Purpose
To examine the effects of walking exercise on exercise tolerance, fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOL) for children and adolescents with cancer. Methods A 6-week walking exercise regimen was implemented in pediatric hematological and oncological wards and in clinics of a medical center in Taiwan. A 6-min walk test (6MWT), fatigue, sleep quality, and QOL were measured at baseline and for six subsequent weeks. Results Adherence to the walking exercise regimen was achieved by 72–89% of the participants in this study. Significant improvements in exercise tolerance were observed after two weeks and they continued through week 6 (F = 17.07, p Conclusions Walking exercise is a feasible and tolerable intervention that should be considered for children and adolescents with cancer. Here, a 6-week walking exercise regimen increased exercise tolerance and improved fatigue. We recommend that walking exercise should be promoted during hospitalization and at home to alleviate fatigue. |
