This book was released on 2005 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: of this study was to test the effect of low to moderate intensity exercise on fatigue and physical functioning in women who have completed treatment for breast cancer. Sample: Twenty-two women, ages 43-79, who had completed treatment for breast cancer, were randomly assigned to an exercise (n= 12) or control group (n = 10). The exercise group participated in a low-moderate intensity (30-50% heart rate reserve) aerobic exercise program 3 times a week for ten weeks. The control group did not participate in the exercise program. Physical functioning was measured by assessing peak aerobic capacity with a treadmill protocol. Both groups recorded their weekly level of fatigue using a Linear Analogue Self-Assessment Scale (LASA) and the Schwartz Cancer Fatigue Scale (SCFS). Results: Peak aerobic capacity increased significantly (25%, p = .005) in the exercise group. The control group showed a decrease of 5.2%. Fatigue reported with the Schwartz scale decreased in the exercise group and increased in the control group. This change was statistically significant between the groups (p = .0003) and within the groups (p =. 01). Fatigue reported with the LASA scale decreased in the exercise group and increased in the control group but the differences were not statistically significant between (p =. 17) or within (p = .10) the groups. Discussion: This aerobic exercise program was effective in improving peak aerobic capacity and reducing fatigue (SCFS) in this group of breast cancer survivors. Guidelines for an exercise intervention are already in place for chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease), but no guidelines are in place for cancer patients and survivors. Lower intensity aerobic exercise should be considered for this population. Low to moderate intensity exercise is a safe, beneficial, efficient, and cost-effective tool for improving fatigue in breast cancer survivors.
Book Synopsis Exercise, Energy Balance, and Cancer by : Cornelia M. Ulrich
Download or read book Exercise, Energy Balance, and Cancer written by Cornelia M. Ulrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is well established that the worldwide pandemic of overweight and obesity has profound effects on promoting cancer, it is now recognized that an alternative aspect of energy balance, namely physical activity and exercise have significant beneficial effects on all aspects of cancer across the spectrum from prevention through treatment and extending through survivorship. Moreover, salutary effects of physical activity and exercise extend across the age span from youth to old age and occur at all stages of cancer extending into palliative care. While the effect of physical activity and exercise on cancer may be partially mediated through obesity control, it is clear that considerable research is required and is ongoing at both the molecular and clinical levels to better understand the associated mechanisms and to develop optimal exercise strategies. This volume will contain chapters on the effect of exercise on biological pathways in tumor growth, state art exercise strategies and cutting edge research focused on different cancers and patient groups. It will provide an important volume in this series on energy balance and cancer and a basis for ongoing research, experimental approaches and application of evidence based practices to clinical care for patients with cancer.
Book Synopsis Exercise and Cancer Survivorship by : John Saxton
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.
Book Synopsis Investigating Physical Activity and Associations with Sleep, Fatigue and Mood After Breast Cancer Treatment by : Trudi Dickson
Download or read book Investigating Physical Activity and Associations with Sleep, Fatigue and Mood After Breast Cancer Treatment written by Trudi Dickson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: Physical activity has been shown to improve sleep, fatigue and mood among breast cancer patients during treatment. However, few studies have focused on assessing the effect of activity on these symptoms after treatment is complete. Using a correlational design, this study aimed to explore associations between physical activity, sleep, fatigue and mood in women who had completed treatment for breast cancer and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the short-version International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Methods: Twenty-eight women (aged 43 to 75 years) with stage I and II breast cancer were recruited at 6-months post-diagnosis and after completion of active treatment. Respondents completed measures of activity, sleep, fatigue, depression and anxiety. Six participants also undertook actigraphic monitoring to obtain objective activity levels. Results: Descriptive analyses suggest the sample was relatively active with 50% of participants engaging in moderate-intensity activities. Despite this, however, only 18% were sufficiently active to meet national guidelines. No significant relationships were found between total physical activity, sleep, fatigue or depression, whereas, anxiety and activity were significantly correlated. Reliability of the IPAQ was low, however, comparison with objective actigraphy data suggests high criterion validity. Conclusion: These findings have implications for designing interventions to reduce anxiety among breast cancer patients returning to physical activity after treatment. However, the choice of assessment instrument may have a significant impact on research results.

Book Synopsis Exercise during breast-cancer treatment by : Martina Markes
Download or read book Exercise during breast-cancer treatment written by Martina Markes and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2011 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise has become an integral part of breast-cancer rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation. While health benefits of physical exercise training are well characterised for these periods, much less is known about the effectiveness of exercise training during breast-cancer treatment, i.e. while receiving chemo- or radiotherapy. The aim of this piece of work was to close this gap. For these purposes, a systematic review, following the rigorous review methodology of the Cochrane Collaboration, was conducted. Results indeed indicate that important physical and mental health outcomes, such as health-related physical fitness, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, can be improved through regular exercise training. Currently, there is no evidence of harm (e.g. an increased risk of injury or lymphedema) from moderate physical exercise during breast-cancer treatment. Thus, the results of this systematic review support recommending and encouraging women undergoing adjuvant treatment of breast-cancer to exercise.
Book Synopsis Health Behaviors and Health Status of Cancer Survivors After the Completion of an Exercise Intervention by : Chrystelle Boko
Download or read book Health Behaviors and Health Status of Cancer Survivors After the Completion of an Exercise Intervention written by Chrystelle Boko and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence has demonstrated that exercise interventions tailored for cancer survivors are successful in mitigating the adverse effects of cancer-related fatigue; however, there are few studies that investigate the exercise behaviors of survivors after completing an exercise intervention. This study examined the exercise behaviors and fatigue status of survivors one to two years after graduating from Strides to Strength [trademark symbol], a cancer wellness and fatigue management program. The sample included 41 male and female cancer survivors ages 23-81 years who graduated from STS [trademark symbol] in 2011 and 2012. Univariate analyses were used to examine demographic characteristics of participants. Bivariate analyses were used to assess the relationship between physical activity and fatigue levels pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one to two years post-intervention. At follow-up, 9.8% of participants were sedentary, as compared to 31.7% at pre-intervention. The mean minutes of exercise/week of the sample increased significantly from pre-intervention to follow-up (t(36)=8.79, p=0.00). Participants' mean fatigue score also increased significantly from pre-intervention to follow-up (t(40)=5.64, p=0.00), indicating a decrease in fatigue. Physical activity should be encouraged at regular intervals during the cancer experience in order to improve quality of life outcomes. Future research should examine the most effective way of communicating the benefits of physical activity to cancer survivors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue is a disabling condition for the patient along with the pain and sleep issues and side effects from the cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment. . The fatigue in the patients with cancer diagnosis have a great impact on the quality of life, activities of the daily living, family and social life. Different physical activity or exercise models could be effective in patients with cancer and receiving treatment or cancer survivors. The regular, moderate level of exercise seems to be a solution that may help the patients. Any form of exercise can be helpful for the patient in fighting the fatigue .To find evidence based data, In the adult oncology population with cancer diagnosis, what is the effect of the physical activity or different model of exercise in reducing the fatigue compared to the patients not using the physical activity or exercise, over a 3 month period of time, a literature review on the fatigue and the effect of the exercise on the patients with cancer performed. The review of 15 articles provided both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results including result of literature analysis. The result of this review provides evidence that it is effective in reducing the fatigue and the helps to increase physical functional status. A proposal for, a pilot study with proper assessment and evaluation tools to further assess the effectiveness of a home based personalized exercise program is recommended to help in implementation of the program house wide. The pilot program proposal needs to be approved by the Institutional Review board prior to the implementation. The implementation is incorporated using the trajectory theory to help with the planning and incorporating intervention to improve effect of chronic illness and related side effect management .The Participation of the staff, the physicians, advanced practice nurses, pharmacist, physiotherapist and the patient representatives/community representative are needs to be ensured using the in-services and dissemination plan. The proper assessment of the fatigue and the interventions to reduce the fatigue in any form of exercise will promote quality of life for these patients; this will also ensure the patient satisfaction and quality of care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis evaluates the effect of physical exercise during chemotherapy. In chapter two the study design, rationale and methods of the Physical exercise during Adjuvant Chemotherapy Study (PACES) are described. Chapter three presents the effects of the randomized controlled trial evaluating a home-based, low-intensity physical activity program (Onco-Move) and a supervised, moderate-to-high intensity, combined resistance and aerobic exercise program (OnTrack) on physical fitness, fatigue, chemotherapy completion rates and other psychosocial outcomes in patients undergoing chemotherapy for their breast cancer. Chapter four describes the cost-effectiveness of both interventions in the PACES trial in patients with breast cancer. Chapter five reports the effect of adherence on the primary outcome measures, adherence to, factors associated with, and satisfaction with both physical activity programs. Psychosocial health and attitudes towards physical activity between participants in the PACES trial and non-participants are compared in chapter six. Chapter seven reports the recruitment of participants with colon cancer in the PACES trial, provides insight in the non-participants and shares the outcome measures of the pilot randomized controlled trial in patients with colon cancer on physical fitness, fatigue, chemotherapy completion rates and other psychosocial outcome measures. This thesis ends with a general discussion of the research of this thesis and its context in and an overall summary.

This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship presents the science behind the benefits of exercise for cancer survival and survivorship as well as the application of that science to the design or adaptation of exercise programs for cancer patients and survivors. Developed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), this authoritative reference offers the most current information for health and fitness professionals working with survivors of many types of cancers. Dr. Melinda L. Irwin has assembled a team of the most respected experts in the field of exercise and cancer survivorship. With an emphasis on practical application, the text discusses the following: • Incidence and prevalence of the most common cancers • Common cancer treatments and side effects • Benefits of exercise after a diagnosis of cancer • Exercise testing, prescription, and programming • Nutrition and weight management • Counseling for health behavior change • Injury prevention • Program administration This guide presents evidence-based information to assist health, fitness, and medical professionals in using exercise to help cancer survivors with recovery, rehabilitation, and reducing the risk of recurrence. Throughout the text, readers will find quick-reference Take-Home Messages that highlight key information and how it can be applied in practice. Chapters also include reproducible forms and questionnaires to facilitate the implementation of an exercise program with a new client or patient, such as physician’s permission forms, medical and cancer treatment history forms, weekly logs of exercise and energy levels, medication listings, and nutrition and goal-setting questionnaires. In addition, ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship discusses all of the job task analysis points tested in the ACSM/ACS Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer (CET) exam, making this the most complete resource available for health and fitness professionals studying to attain CET certification. Each chapter begins with a list of the CET exam points discussed in that chapter. A complete listing is also included in the appendix. As both an essential preparation text for certification and a practical reference, ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship will increase health and fitness professionals’ knowledge of the benefits of exercise after a cancer diagnosis as well as the specifics of developing and adapting exercise programs to meet the unique needs of cancer survivors. Evidence has shown that physical activity has numerous health benefits for cancer patients and survivors. More clinicians and oncologists are recommending exercise as a strategy for reducing the side effects of treatment, speeding recovery, and improving overall quality of life. In turn, cancer survivors are seeking health and fitness professionals with knowledge and experience to help them learn how to exercise safely within their capabilities. With ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship, health and fitness professionals can provide safe exercise programs to help cancer survivors improve their health, take proactive steps toward preventing recurrences, and enhance their quality of life.

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.
Book Synopsis Integrating Physical Activity Into Cancer Care by : Lisa Marie Bernardo
Download or read book Integrating Physical Activity Into Cancer Care written by Lisa Marie Bernardo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « For cancer survivors, physical activity plays an integral role in alleviating symptoms and side effects, reducing fatigue, promoting cognitive function, and improving overall outcomes and quality of life. But despite the evidence supporting the benefits of physical activity and exercise, many survivors find making this lifestyle change intimidating or overwhelming. And healthcare professionals may underestimate the positive impact that physical activity can have on patients during and following cancer treatment. Integrating Physical Activity Into Cancer Care: An Evidence-Based Approach provides essential resources to encourage and support patients to engage in appropriate levels of exercise and physical activity throughout the cancer trajectory. Chapters highlight the benefits of physical activity in different types of cancer, strategies to assess patient motivation and readiness, ways to evaluate exercise tolerance and adherence, and resources and support groups for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. »--
