Fencing fights fatigue: new program aims to keep blood cancer patients moving
NCT ID NCT06026046
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a fencing-based exercise program is practical for adults with leukemia or lymphoma who are receiving intensive treatment in a hospital. The goal was to reduce physical decline caused by long bed rest. Eighty patients were invited to take part, and researchers measured how many attended at least half of the fencing sessions.
