The tests were performed twice with a minimum gap of seven days in between.Results: The control group showed significantly better results in the 1RM strength tests and most other tests than the post-chemotherapy group.The vertical jump test results showed the best correlation with leg press strength, and the push-up test variable showed the best correlation withupper extremity 1RM strength.Conclusion: The vertical jump and push-up tests are the most valid in the clinical setting.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:ABSTRACTObjective: Muscle strength assessment in cancer rehabilitation is normally performed using the one repetition maximum (1RM) strength test forseveral muscle groups. 1RM testing is not easy in a clinical setting; and therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the test-retest reliabilityand the relation to 1RM muscle strength of functional movement tests in a group of diverse cancer patients, curatively treated with chemotherapy.Material and Methods: The study sample included 26 participants, of whom 13 were post-chemotherapy patients and 13 were healthy controls(mean±SD); age 45.9±13.6 years; weight 80.2±12.7 kg; BMI 26.4±3.77; leg press 1RM strength value/kg 2.06±0.70.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The following tests wereperformed-the vertical jump test, stair-climb test, 5-times chair-rise test, 30-seconds chair rise, push-up test, and hand grip strength test and theresults were correlated with the leg press 1RM strength values.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The tests were performed twice with a minimum gap of seven days in between.Results: The control group showed significantly better results in the 1RM strength tests and most other tests than the post-chemotherapy group.The vertical jump test results showed the best correlation with leg press strength, and the push-up test variable showed the best correlation withupper extremity 1RM strength.Conclusion: The vertical jump and push-up tests are the most valid in the clinical setting.

Abstract

ABSTRACTObjective: Muscle strength assessment in cancer rehabilitation is normally performed using the one repetition maximum (1RM) strength test forseveral muscle groups. 1RM testing is not easy in a clinical setting; and therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the test-retest reliabilityand the relation to 1RM muscle strength of functional movement tests in a group of diverse cancer patients, curatively treated with chemotherapy.Material and Methods: The study sample included 26 participants, of whom 13 were post-chemotherapy patients and 13 were healthy controls(mean±SD); age 45.9±13.6 years; weight 80.2±12.7 kg; BMI 26.4±3.77; leg press 1RM strength value/kg 2.06±0.70. The following tests wereperformed-the vertical jump test, stair-climb test, 5-times chair-rise test, 30-seconds chair rise, push-up test, and hand grip strength test and theresults were correlated with the leg press 1RM strength values. The tests were performed twice with a minimum gap of seven days in between.Results: The control group showed significantly better results in the 1RM strength tests and most other tests than the post-chemotherapy group.The vertical jump test results showed the best correlation with leg press strength, and the push-up test variable showed the best correlation withupper extremity 1RM strength.Conclusion: The vertical jump and push-up tests are the most valid in the clinical setting. These tests assist exercise physicians in determiningmuscle strength at various stages of the cancer process and rehabilitation, which help specify training goals individually for each patient.Keywords: Oncology, physical screening, strength

Özet

Amaç: Kanser rehabilitasyonunda kas gücü değerlendirmesi, normalde birkaç kas grubu için bir tekrarlı maksimum (1RM) kuvvet testi kullanılarak yapılır. Klinik ortamda 1RM testi kolay bir uygulama değildir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada kemoterapi ile küratif tedavi gören farklı kanser hastalarından oluşan bir grupta fonksiyonel hareket testlerinin test-tekrar test güvenilirliğini ve 1RM kas gücü ile ilişkisini belirlemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma örneklemi 13'ü kemoterapi hastası ve 13'ü sağlıklı kontrol olan 26 katılımcıdan oluşmaktaydı. Yaş ortalaması ve standart sapması 45,9±13,6 yıl; ağırlık 80,2±12,7 kg; BMI 26,4±3,77; bacak presi 1RM değeri/kg 2,06±0,70 idi. Dikey sıçrama testi, merdiven tırmanma testi, 5 kez sandalyeden kalkma testi, 30 saniyelik sandalyeden kalkma testi, itme testi ve el kavrama gücü testi yapıldı. Sonuçlar bacak presi 1RM ile ilişkilendirildi. Testler minimum yedi gün arayla iki kez yapıldı. Bulgular: Kontrol grubu 1RM güç testlerinde ve diğer testlerin çoğunda kemoterapi sonrası gruba göre önemli derecede daha iyi sonuçlar gösterdi. Dikey sıçrama testi sonuçları bacak pres kuvveti ile en iyi korelasyonu gösterdi ve itme testi değişkeni üst ekstremite 1RM gücü ile en iyi korelasyonu gösterdi. Sonuç: Dikey sıçrama ve itme testleri klinik ortamda en geçerli olanlardır. Bu testler, egzersiz uzmanlarına kanser sürecinin çeşitli aşamalarında ve rehabilitasyonda kas gücünü belirlemede ve her hasta için ayrı ayrı eğitim hedeflerinin belirlemesine yardımcı olur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Onkoloji, fiziksel tarama, güç
