Download or read book Exercise and Cancer Survivorship written by John Saxton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of exercise scientists are applying their skills collaboratively (with medics and physiotherapists) to clinical populations and investigating the effects of exercise in relation to wide-ranging clinical, pathophysiological and psycho-social outcomes. The book is aimed at final year Undergraduate and Master's level students of Exercise Science, who are interested in working with clinical populations such as cancer patients. Many university Sport and Exercise Science courses in the UK and USA now have modules which are focused on exercise for health, and cover aspects of exercise science which are appropriate for clinical populations. The book would also be a very valuable resource for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Physiotherapy courses and a very useful resource for students of Exercise Science and Physiotherapy, as well as practitioners working with cancer patients.There are an increasing amount of research opportunities for exercise scientists who are interested in working with clinical populations. Furthermore, a considerable amount of Government and Charity research funding is being targeted at active lifestyles and this is helping to generate a new culture of collaboration between exercise scientists and medics. Hence, it is highly likely that an increasing number of students from Sport and Exercise Science courses will pursue careers within the clinical realm in the future. Practicing exercise therapists, clinical exercise physiologists and physiotherapists would also find lots of useful up-to-date knowledge to support their evidence-based clinical practice. This book would also be of interest to informed readers who are themselves undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book presents a unique and practical approach to the evolving field of exercise oncology - the study of physical activity in the context of cancer prevention and control. Presenting the current state of the art, the book is sensibly divided into four thematic sections. Following an opening chapter presenting an overview and timeline of exercise oncology, the chapters comprising part I discuss primary cancer prevention, physical activity and survivorship, and the mechanisms by which these operate. Diagnosis and treatment considerations are discussed in part II, including prehabilitation, exercise during surgical recovery, infusion and radiation therapies, and treatment efficacy. Post-treatment and end-of-life care are covered in part III, including cardio-oncology, energetics and palliative care. Part IV presents behavioral, logistical and policy-making considerations, highlighting a multidisciplinary approach to exercise oncology as well as practical matters such as reimbursement and economics. Written and edited by experts in the field, Exercise Oncology will be a go-to practical resource for sports medicine clinicians, family and primary care physicians, oncologists, physical therapy and rehabilitation specialists, and all medical professionals who treat cancer patients.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased incidence of and survival from breast cancer have resulted in growth of the number of women who have survived this disease and are faced with the subsequent consequences of their diagnosis and treatment. Physical activity (PA) is a modifiable health behavior that has the potential to address both the emotional and physical needs of women with early stage breast cancer. However, for PA to be seen as a viable treatment option, and for a change in routine care to occur, its effectiveness must be determined. Thus, the objectives of this pilot study were to: 1) quantify the effect of a 12-week homebased walking intervention on quality of life, body composition, and estrogen metabolism in survivors of breast cancer, and 2) develop and test the feasibility of PA intervention materials for future studies in this population. A total of 33 participants were enrolled and 21 of these were randomized to the walking program. No participants met inclusion criteria for the estrogen metabolism sub-study. Completion of counseling calls and adherence to the walking prescription were high among the walking group. Medium to large increases in PA as well as medium improvements in many domains of health-related quality of life were found among walking but not control participants. Home-based walking programs appear to be a feasible and promising form of intervention for breast cancer survivors.

Download or read book Effects of Physical Exercise on Fatigue, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life for Patients Undergoing Cancer Treatment written by Heather D. Dodge and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We appraised seven articles examining the effects of a walking program on quality of life (QOL), fatigue, and aerobic functional capacity in individuals receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer. Five of the reviewed studies had moderate to good methodological quality and contributed to our overall clinical bottom line. In these studies, individuals who walked (total of 3 to ¡©+24 hours) clinically improved their QOL and decreased their cancer-related fatigue, and statistically improved their aerobic functional capacity (or effectively mitigated significant decreases in aerobic functional capacity) compared to individuals who received usual cancer care. Three of the five articles specified that the aerobic walking program was performed at moderate intensity (50-70% of max heart rate). In one study with a population of women one to three years post breast cancer treatment, a two-month moderate intensity aerobic exercise program increased fatigue levels compared to the usual care group. This may have been because the intensity was too vigorous and exercise-related fatigue may have been misinterpreted as cancer-related fatigue. Therefore, we recommend close monitoring of exercise intensity and post-exercise fatigue levels to minimize the potential of causing exercise-induced fatigue in previously inactive individuals. Based on this evidence, we recommend an average of ¡©+60 minutes per week of light to moderate intensity walking during cancer treatment to increase QOL, decrease cancer-related fatigue, and improve overall aerobic functional capacity. These recommendations can apply to adults undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer (with treatment regimens and courses similar to those prescribed to study participants for each respective type of cancer) for whom safe exercise intensities can be established. Since the interventions were walking programs, we cannot generalize our recommendations to a non-ambulatory population or to those who have other co-morbidities that prevent walking at the required heart rates. Physical therapists can effectively screen patients for safe aerobic exercise by using an assessment or screening tool such as the Duke Activity Status Index. Future studies need to investigate the role of the intensity component aerobic of exercise to determine the appropriate aerobic exercise intensity to best improve QOL, fatigue, and aerobic functioning during cancer treatment.

This book was released on 2005-02-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Research in the field of exercise therapy for cancer patients primarily focused on individuals with breast cancer who receive exercise interventions under outpatient conditions. This research study investigated individuals with colorectal cancer under inpatient conditions and aimed to broaden the application of exercise intervention treatments beyond that of breast cancer. The research included two study groups; standard exercise group (SEG, n=44) receiving indoor gymnastic exercise (IGE) and modified exercise group (MEG, n=39) receiving IGE plus additional outdoor walking activity. Participation in the specific exercise therapy program was independent of other therapies received in the inpatient rehabilitation program (IRP). The patients completed QOL questionnaires (QLQ-C30 & QLQ-CR38), psychological distress scale (HADS) and underwent treadmill stress-testing (TST) at the beginning (T1) and upon completion (T2) of the IRP. The QOL and the HADS questionnaires were administrated after a six month follow up (T3) proceeding the IRP completion. Results indicate significant QOL and HADS improvements in pre to post-testing for both study groups. The TST results indicate superior improvements in the MEG in comparison to the SEG. Some of the T1 to T2 QOL and HADS improvement maintained at T3. We conclude that 3 weeks IRP was adequate to reveal improvements in QOL, psychological measures and functional capacity. Future research should emphasize patient motivation for participation in physical activity after completing IRP. This background chapter encompasses the different fields of knowledge which are relevant to the present study, starting with colorectal cancer (epidemiology, etiology, pathology and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health), continuing with the subjects Quality of life, Movement and Sports in the Rehabilitation. The chapter ends with a review of previous physical activity and cancer studies. Descriptive epidemiological knowledge of colorectal cancer is essential for understanding the etiology of the disease and is used in the process of developing screening methods. Large bowel carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the western world (15% of all cancer cases) and despite advanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the prognosis is relatively poor (Faivre et al. 2002). The WHO classification supplies the mortality data of colon cancer separately from rectum cancer. [...]

Download or read book The Relationship of Exercise to Fatigue and Quality of Life in Women With Breast Cancer written by Anna L. Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-eight women with breast cancer have been entered in the study. All subjects received instruction to follow an eight-week, home-based exercise program. Two preliminary analyses have been conducted. The first examined the relationship of exercise to fatigue and quality of life in 31 subjects. This analysis demonstrated that the effect of exercise was strongly mediated by fatigue and that fatigue accounted for 71% of the variance in quality of life. The second analysis examined the pattern of fatigue over the first three cycles of chemotherapy in 68 subjects. Results indicated a curvilinear relationship between fatigue and duration of exercise; as the number of minutes of exercise increased fatigue declined. Findings from both analyses support exercise as an intervention for fatigue in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. The results indicate that while there appears to be a dose response relationship of exercise to fatigue, fatigue appears to be the mechanism through which exercise affects quality of life. This research indicates that exercise is important to help maintain functional ability, reduce fatigue and improve quality of life during breast cancer treatment.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Previously, research has demonstrated that cancer patients and survivors, through participation in moderate intensity exercise, can achieve significant reductions in disease and adjuvant treatment morbidities. Of concern, is that current research findings have shown that cancer survivors are not exercising at levels sufficient enough to attain health benefits, yet the reasons for this behaviour pattern are not well understood. Therefore the research in this thesis has been conducted from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in order to examine the exercise motivations of Western Australian breast cancer survivors, and the impact that these motivations had on exercise behaviour and quality of life (QOL) outcomes. ... Strong positive correlations were observed between the exercise regulations and the psychological needs across all 58 participants at baseline and weeks 12 and 24. Significant time by group interactions were demonstrated for all psychological needs variables and exercise regulations except for amotivation. Furthermore, from baseline to week 12, the IEG demonstrated improvements on psychological needs with corresponding significantly more self-determined exercise regulations. Conversely, no changes were observed for the DEG. From week 12 until week 24, the DEG demonstrated significant increases in perceived psychological needs and reported more self-determined exercise regulations. Psychological needs and exercise regulations measured at baseline did not predict adherence to the exercise programme. Overall, SDT assisted in explaining the motivation / exercise relationship for cancer survivors. Perceived autonomy and competence positively influence the development of identified and intrinsic motivations, which are significant factors for the adoption and maintenance of an exercise programme. Identification of these factors, as well as determining patients readiness to exercise, will assist in the development of future exercise programmes. Of importance, is that these programmes should be tailored to an individual s needs and well-being. Increased exercise levels may reduce the impact of treatment morbidities for cancer patients and survivors, as well as improve their QOL. Recommendations from this research are provided for health professionals, whilst recommendations for future research are also offered.
