Abstract

Objective: To identify and describe the scientific evidence on the interventions of physical exercises in the physical and psychological health of individuals with Cervical Cancer. Materials and Methods: An integrative review was carried out blindly and independently, in June 2023, according to the PRISMA guidelines and a guiding question formulated according to the PICOS strategy. The results were obtained by direct online access through the databases: PubMed, Science Direct and Capes, using the combination of the following descriptors in English: Cervical Cancer, Physical activity, and Physical exercise. Results and Discussion: A total of 5 studies were selected, with a sample of 462 participants with a mean age of 48.5 years. The studies included aerobic, resistance, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Although combined exercises result in better overall quality of life, anxiety, depression and muscle strength indices, specific protocols are still needed to better establish a time, frequency and best moment of intervention for this population. Conclusion: Patients with cervical cancer can benefit from the practice of physical exercises, improving aspects related to general physical and psychological health. It is recommended that more studies, such as randomized clinical trials, be carried out to obtain more concise results.
