Introduction
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscle strength are prognostic factors in cancer. Although exercise can improve these parameters, many patients remain insufficiently, especially due to the lack of accessible services. Telehealth interventions overcomes these obstacles, although concerns remains about its effectiveness. This meta-analysis primarily aims to determine the impact of...
Purpose
Exercise provides important benefits for cancer survivors, yet participation remains low due to barriers such as time demands, travel distance, and limited access to appropriate services. Supervised live-remote delivery may help address these barriers while retaining professional support. This trial evaluated the effects of a 12-week live-remote supervised exercise intervention on...
Background: LION is a multinational randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effects of a live-remote exercise program in individuals who self-report fatigue, emotional distress, low physical functioning, and/or neuropathy after curative cancer treatment. The 12-week program consists of resistance and aerobic training (2x/week) and sessions targeting the participant’s most...
Background Multimodal prehabilitation can optimize physical, nutritional, and psychological health in people with cancer, reduce treatment-related side effects, and support recovery; it may also benefit caregivers, who frequently report stress, anxiety, fatigue, reduced functioning and often feel abandoned by the system. We developed coACTIF (COllectively ACTive and InFormed upon cancer...
Purpose: We evaluated if diet or exercise habits changed in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a remote behavior intervention vs. control, in men with prostate cancer. We assessed associations of behavioral change constructs with health behaviors.
Methods: Prostate 8-II is a RCT testing a remote diet and exercise intervention among 202 men with prostate cancer, opting for surgery at...
