Optimal exercise dose-response improves health-related quality of life in cancer survivors: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of RCTs.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cancer survivors often face significant health-related quality of life (HRQoL) challenges. Although exercise has been proven to improve HRQoL in cancer survivors, the optimal dose and intensity of exercise for this population has not been fully determined. Adherence to exercise may vary based on exercise intensity, affecting results. This study explored the dose-response relationship of different exercise types and intensities to better understand their impact on HRQoL in cancer survivors.

Methods

We searched five databases-PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus-from their inception until 1 December 2023. Data analysis was performed using R software with the MBNMA and RJAGS packages. Due to combining data from different scales, effect size
