Lung cancer fatigue: could calisthenics be the answer?
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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help lung cancer patients feel less tired and more willing to exercise.
What could go wrong
