Platinum-based chemotherapy can accelerate cognitive and metabolic decline in cancer survivors. Physical exercise has a potential to reduce chemotherapy-related toxicity. Our aim was to assess the effects of aerobic-strength training on cognitive functions, physical fitness and metabolism in testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) survivors, treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. TGCT survivors were enrolled in a 6-month intervention (supervised aerobic-strength training / controls n=20 / 8, age 42.1±7.6 yrs, BMI:27.7±3.8 kg/m², VO2max:29.2±6.7 mlO2/kg/min, 1-20 years post-treatment).

Exercise improves clinical state of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), while deterioration of glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes contribute to the progression of PD. Our aim was to assess the effects of exercise on cognitive functions, physical fitness, glucose and energy metabolism as well as on the molecular composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with PD. Patients (M:F 9:8) aged 61.1 ± 8.8yrs; H&Y score I-III, BMI 27.6 ± 5.4 kg.m-2, completed a 4-month supervised aerobic-strength training (3x1h weekly). Clinical state was assessed by the United-Parkinson-Disease-Ra
