Cancer-related tiredness (CRF) is a crippling yet all-too-common disease that has a negative impact on patients' quality of life.

Although infections can cause a variety of symptoms, one typical indication is the loss of fat and muscle, a process known as wasting.

When it comes to obese patients it has been noticed that they have lower metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle.

A recent study by researchers of The University of New South Wales (UNSW) suggested that one can lose around 1.4 per cent of our entire body fat through strength training alone, which is similar to how much we might lose through cardio or aerobics.
