NCT ID NCT07237503

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether doing calisthenic exercises (like push-ups and squats) can reduce fatigue and improve attitudes toward exercise in people with lung cancer. Thirty-three patients either exercised with a physiotherapist or followed a booklet at home for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if guided exercise helps them feel less tired and more active.
