Abstract
Abstract
Background: Cancer patients may enhance their physical function and quality of life via exercise. However, there are few quantitative data to determine if exercise is safe and effective for the patients with bone metastases.Methods: Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Databases were searched to May 5, 2022.Results: 692 items were found. Five studies totaling 234 patients were included in the analysis after thorough screening. The interventions included soccer, aerobic exercise, and resistance training. There were no adverse effects connected to exercise. The results of the mixed-efficacy study showed that exercise improved bone mineral density more than regular nursing (P=0.009). It also had a clinically significant effect on body composition and pain, but there was no difference between the groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions: Exercise seems to be safe for people with bone metastases, and it can increase bone density, improve body composition, and alleviate pain.
