This
qualitative study explored patients' experiences of an exercise programme
within a palliative care setting, with the interviews focusing on the perceived
impact on all aspects of quality of life. Patients
reported an awareness of the positive physical, psychological, and social
consequences of exercising. Their experiences reflected on all dimensions of
quality of life, the impact of others and the sense of meaning gained through
participation in exercise.
