Resistance training as supportive measure in advanced cancer patients undergoing TKI therapy —a controlled feasibility trial

ConclusionsProgressive machine-based resistance training appears feasible in the majority of advanced cancer patients undergoing TKI therapy. However, its positive effects on muscle strength do not seem to be associated with positive effects on fatigue or quality of life. Future studies should therefore compare whether home-based training is more beneficial for patient-reported outcomes.Trial registrationNCT01645150
