Summary

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.

Met exercises

Exercise plan: Each session of the self-designed MET exercise program was divided into 8 components: stretching exercises, chest expansion exercises, kicking exercises, lateral movement exercises, body rotation exercises, whole-body exercises, jumping exercises, and a cool down. 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. For patients with moderate fatigue and an RPFS score of 4 to 6 points, low-intensity exercise was recommended, i.e., patients could choose 1 to 4 metabolic equivalent exercises and repeat them twice; for patients with mild fatigue and an RPFS score of 1 to 3 points, moderate-intensity exercise was recommended, i.e., patients could choose to complete the entire set of metabolic equivalent exercises or 5 to 8 of the exercises and repeat them twice. The exercise frequency was 5 times per week.
