1 - Scientific Poster

Exercise is a well-established supportive care intervention that reduces treatment-related side effects and improves quality of life, yet many individuals’ receiving chemotherapy do not achieve sufficient activity levels. Despite endorsement by numerous medical and health organizations, only about 15% of patients report receiving an oncologist referral to exercise services, largely due to...

273. Predictors of attendance to a referral-based exercise oncology program at a comprehensive cancer center

1 - Scientific Poster

PURPOSE: Even when exercise oncology programs are integrated into clinical care, impact is limited when referrals do not translate into attendance. We sought to identify predictors of attendance to a referral-based exercise oncology program to develop targeted interventions for improving engagement.

METHODS: Patients referred to a clinical exercise oncology program (2023-2025) were...

288. Assessing the Reach of Exercise Therapy Care Pathways in German Comprehensive Cancer Centers

Introduction: Quality-assured oncological exercise therapy (qOET) is increasingly recognized as a safe and effective supportive intervention to improve physical functioning, reduce treatment-related adverse effects, and enhance quality of life in pediatric cancer patients. However, its integration into routine care remains inconsistent, highlighting the need to identify key barriers and...

196. Developing an international consensus to evaluate the practical inclusion of autoregulation in exercise oncology practice

Brent Cunningham (University of the Sunshine Coast)

7/22/26, 12:40 PM

1 - Scientific Poster

Exercise is essential for managing side effects, maintaining fitness, and improving quality of life across the cancer continuum. However, current guidelines lack practical recommendations for adjusting exercise based on daily fluctuations. Autoregulation—the ability to adjust exercise variables based on individual readiness to train—offers a pragmatic strategy to address daily fluctuations and...
