Objective: To determine the effects of exercise training in patients with lung cancer during chemotherapy treatment.  Methods: A randomised clinical trial was conducted in Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (IRNUM) Peshawar. A total of 40 participants were randomly divided into two groups: i) the Experimental group (EG, n = 20) and ii) Control group (CG, n = 20). Both groups received exercise training for 4 weeks, with five sessions per week. The EG received pulmonary rehabilitation and aerobic training. The CG received only pulmonary rehabilitation. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 6 weeks through Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) Urdu version, Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT), digital spirometry, Borgs scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADs) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).  Results: Both the EG and CG showed significant improvement in MAAS scores at post-study with a (P &lt; 0.001). The scores of 6MWT were improved significantly in both groups after intervention with a (P = 0.001). The patient\u2019s anxiety scores were significantly improved in both groups after intervention with a (P &lt; 0.001), while depression scores were also improved considerably between the two groups at post-level with a (P &lt; 0.001). Regarding spirometry value, both groups showed significant improvement after intervention for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1\/FVC (P &lt; 0.001). Both groups show significant differences in patient pain intensity and dyspnea at post-level with P &lt; 0.001.  Conclusion: This study concluded that pulmonary rehabilitation along with aerobic training can be more effective than pulmonary rehabilitation alone for patients with lung cancer during chemotherapy treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21315\/mjms2023.30.2.13","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]],"date-time":"2023-04-19T01:53:00Z","timestamp":1681869180000},"page":"141-152","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Effects of Exercise Training in Patients with Lung Cancer During Chemotherapy Treatment"],"prefix":"10.21315","volume":"30","author":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Abasyn University, Peshawar, Pakistan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muheebur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uzair","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"College of Physical Therapy, Northwest Institute of Health Sciences, Peshawar, Pakistan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehwish","family":"Waseem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Faculty of Rehabilitation and Allied Health Sciences, Riphah International University, Islamabad, Pakistan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Paramedics, Medical Teaching Institution, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Iqbal","family":"Tariq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Faculty of Rehabilitation and Allied Health Sciences, Riphah International University, Islamabad, Pakistan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"8963","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]},"container-title":["Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]],"date-time":"2023-04-19T01:53:20Z","timestamp":1681869200000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.mjms.usm.my\/MJMS30022023\/MJMS30022023_13.pdf"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21315\/mjms2023.30.2.13","relation":{},"ISSN":["1394-195X","2180-4303"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1394-195X","type":"print"},{"value":"2180-4303","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]}}}
