About this study

Official title: Impact of Aerobic Versus Resistive Training on Functional Capacity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Survivors; a Comparative Study

Sixty patients with AML from both sexes aged from 35-45 years were selected from hematology department in Nasser Institute Hospital where the study was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups equal in number. Group (A) underwent aerobic exercises in the form of cycling with 50-60% of maximum heart rate. Group (B) underwent resistive training conducted in the form of a series of exercises using free weights, and dumbles. Sessions were conducted three times /week for eight weeks. Six minutes' walk test (6MWT), 10 repetitions maximum test (10 RM), ventilatory function test, fatigue and quality of life (QOL) scales were used to assess functional capacity in both groups.

Read the detailed description

Aerobic Ex Group: Included 30 patients who underwent aerobic training with 50 %-60% of maximum heart rate in the form of cycling by Bicycle ergometer for eight weeks, three sessions/week.

Resistive Ex Group: Included 30 patients who underwent a resistive training which were conducted in the form of a series of exercises using free weights, and dumbles to increase the strength of arms, pectoral muscles, abdominal, back muscles and gluteal region. Patients carried out three sets of 20-30 dynamic repetitions or static isometric exercises for 40-60 seconds for each muscle group and rested 1-2 min between series. Sessions were conducted three sessions/week for eight weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Six minutes walking Distance

    which used to measure the distance the patient was able to walk over a total of six minutes According to American thorax society guidelines; patients were instructed to walk as fast as long as possible , in a 30 meters obstacle free corridor limited by turnaround cones and distance was calculated

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

  2. 10 repetition maximum test

    which the greatest amount of weight a person can lift number of times. The amount of weight that can be lifted exactly 10 times is 10 RM

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

  3. Vital capacity

    was measured by using electronic spirometry used to conduct ventilatory function testing

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maximum oxygen consumption

    Results of (6MWT) was used to calculate Vo2 max by using Cahalin equation as follows; Vo2 max = 0.03x distance in meters +3.98, in which distance is obtained from (6MWT)

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

  2. Fatigue assessment scale (FAS)

    FAS is a 10-item scale evaluating symptoms of chronic fatigue

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

  3. Quality of life questionnaire (QOL)

    was used to evaluate the quality of life before and after training for both groups.The Quality of Life Instrument (CANCER PATIENT/CANCER SURVIVOR VERSION) is a forty one-item ordinal scale. The scoring should be based on a scale of 0 = worst outcome to 10 = best outcome

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aerobic exercise in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Six minutes walking Distance (time frame: It is performed before and after the study(8 weeks interval) for both groups). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2020.
