Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
To investigate the effect of using Self-arranged Metabolic Equivalent Exercises on cancer-related fatigue in gastric cancer patients. Gastric cancer patients admitted to the oncology department of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into observation group and control group. The experimental group used Metabolic Equivalent Exercises for intervention besides exercise education and implemented records. In the control group, conventional exercise catharsis was performed. The Piper Revised Fatigue Scale (RPFS) and QLQ-30 Quality of Life Scale were used to measure cancer-caused fatigue and quality of life in both groups at the first admission and after 3 months.

- description
- 1. Exercise plan: Each session of the self-designed METexercises were divided into 8 components. There are 4 sets and 8-repetitions per component, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete and consuming approximately 18 calories. Patients were instructed to exercise once in the morning and once in the evening.Metabolic equivalent intensity: The intensity of exercise was expressed as metabolic equivalents (METs). 2. Exercise training: Members of the fatigue management team in the ward taught the patients to perform MET exercises using videos.The fatigue management team members confirmed that the patient could perform the exercise independently and correctly.

- description
- Participants received routine exercise health education that included information pertaining to CRF (causes of CRF, clinical manifestations, related factors, the necessity and importance of fatigue prevention, and measures to improve CRF, etc.) and exercise (3-5 times per week, regardless of the type of exercise). The patients were also informed about the precautions for exercise.
