The Phys-Can observational study : adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a reduction whereas physical activity level before start of treatment is associated with maintenance of maximal oxygen uptake in patients with cancer

ConclusionThe results of the present study indicate that adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a subsequent reduction in\( \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} \) in patients with cancer whereas MVPA before start of adjuvant treatment is positively associated with a higher\( \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} \) after end of adjuvant treatment.
