Resumen

La práctica de ejercicio físico ha sido asociada a un menor riesgo de desarrollo y recurrencia del cáncer. Asimismo, estudios previos sugieren que el ejercicio es eficaz para reducir el riesgo de desarrollar alteraciones metabólicas. Por lo tanto, esta investigación pretende evaluar los efectos de un programa de ejercicio combinado de 12 semanas sobre la reducción de los niveles de hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) en pacientes con cáncer. Para ello, 22 pacientes no diabéticos fueron asignados aleatoriamente a una intervención de ejercicio combinado de 12 semanas o al grupo control. Se realizaron evaluaciones iniciales y a los 3 meses para valorar los cambios en los niveles de HbA1c, la grasa y la masa musculoesquelética de los 22 participantes que completaron el estudio. Analizando la muestra hubo mejoras significativas en los niveles de HbA1c (p=0,033). Además, cuando se excluyeron los mayores de 65 años, las diferencias fueron mayores (p=0,017). Aunque no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las reducciones de los sujetos con diferentes niveles basales de HbA1c, los que tenían niveles más altos redujeron los valores en un 6,8% y los que tenían niveles normales en un 3,6%. Además, no se encontró ninguna correlación entre las reducciones de la HbA1c y los cambios en la composición corporal. Esta intervención de ejercicio combinado de 12 semanas dio lugar a una reducción de los niveles de HbA1c, pero este cambio no se asoció con los cambios en la composición corporal.
