Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a physiotherapy-led remotely delivered physical activity intervention in cancer survivors using wearable technology. The IMPETUS trial.

Background: Physical activity levels are low in cancer survivors. Remotely delivered programs which harness wearable technology may potentially be beneficial.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a remotely delivered, physical activity intervention which harnessed wearable technology.

Perceptions of eHealth-Enabled Physical Activity Interventions Among Cancer Survivors: Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Achieving adequate levels of physical activity (PA) is especially important for cancer survivors to mitigate the side effects of cancer and its treatment as well as for other health benefits. Electronic health (eHealth)-based PA interventions may offer feasible alternatives to traditionally delivered programs and optimize physical recovery after a cancer diagnosis, but perspectives of cancer survivors on this new delivery medium have not been extensively explored.

Objective: The overall aim was to explore participants' perspectives of eHealth-enabled PA interventions to inform the design of a future intervention among cancer survivors.

Low Dose Resistance Exercise: A Pilot Study Examining Effects on Blood Pressure and Augmentation Index Between Intensities.

Introduction: The effects of resistance exercise on vascular function are unclear.

Aim: To investigate the acute haemodynamic (blood pressure and augmentation index) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) response to two types of resistance exercises of equal workload-a set of unilateral 35% of one repetition maximum (1RM) quadriceps extension and a set of unilateral 70% 1RM quadriceps extension.

Methods: Twenty two young healthy males completed both exercises on separate days.

eHealth-based intervention to increase physical activity levels in people with cancer: protocol of a feasibility trial in an Irish acute hospital setting.

Introduction: Exercise and physical activity (PA) are established and effective treatment options for various side effects of cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The advent of eHealth brings new opportunities to influence healthy behaviours, using interactive and novel approaches. Influencing PA behaviours in people with cancer presents a potential application of this.

The use of eHealth to promote physical activity in cancer survivors: a systematic review.

Purpose: Achieving adequate levels of physical activity (PA) and avoiding sedentary behaviour are particularly important in cancer survivors. eHealth, which includes, but is not limited to, the delivery of health information through Internet and mobile technologies, is an emerging concept in healthcare which may present opportunities to improve PA in cancer survivors. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the effects of eHealth in the promotion of PA among cancer survivors.
