Effect of exercise based on the ACSM recommendations on fatigue in patients with digestive tumors: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Compared with low compliance, exercise intervention with high compliance has shown a more significant improvement in fatigue among patients with digestive tumors. In addition, the beneficial effects of high compliance with exercise intervention on fatigue in patients with digestive tumors also provide important implications for cancer survivors. Regular exercise that conforms to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendations, especially maintaining high compliance, can serve as an effective strategy to alleviate cancer-related fatigue and improve the quality of life of survivors. However, these studies have not yet been fully unified in the scoring tools for cancer-related fatigue (CRF), and further research is needed to validate these findings.
