简要总结
AIM OF THE STUDY: The study aims to compare the effect of aerobic training versus progressive resistance training on functional capacity and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer receiving chemoradiation therapy.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: This study will help us to ascertain the optimal type of exercise for this patient population.This study will help us to know whether aerobic training or progressive resistance training helps us to improve the functional capacity and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer.
PROCEDURE:Patients with head and neck cancer receiving chemoradiation therapy will be explained about the study and willing participants will be signing a written informed consent and are screened based on study criteria.Following randomly allocated through computer generated sequence into group A and group B.Group A will receive aerobic training(brisk walking) for 15-20 minutes, 5 days per week for a period of seven weeks.Group B will receive aerobic training 15-20 minutes, 5 days a week ;along with progressive resistance training with resistance band for 10-15 min ,3 days a week for a period of seven weeks.Functional capacity, Quality of life,Fatigue and Skeletal muscle mass are assessed at base line,3 weeks and at 7th week.
