Multiphasic exercise prehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer: a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study protocol.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment often consists of major surgery followed by adjuvant therapy, which can result in treatment-related side effects, decreased physical function, and diminished quality of life. Perioperative nutrition interventions and early mobilization improve recovery after HNC treatment. However, there are few studies on prehabilitation that include exercise within the HNC surgical care pathway.

Factors predicting gains in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in prostate cancer survivors on androgen deprivation therapy.

Background: Whether individual, environmental, and psychosocial factors predict changes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is poorly addressed in prostate cancer (PC) survivors undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Purpose: This secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial examined changes in MVPA following a supervised personal training (PT), supervised group-based (GROUP) program, or a home-based, smartphone-assisted exercise (HOME) intervention in PC survivors on ADT and explored individual, environmental, and psychosocial predictors of MVPA.

Methods: PC survivors on ADT underwent aerobic and resistance training for 6 months via PT, GROUP, or HOME.

ACE-Neuro: A tailored exercise oncology program for neuro-oncology patients - Study protocol.

Background: Patients with primary brain tumours (i.e., neuro-oncology patients) lack access to exercise oncology and wellness resources.

Benefits of 24 versus 12 weeks of exercise and wellness programming for women undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Purpose: Community exercise programs can help maintain or improve health in cancer survivors. However, the most effective and feasible duration of a community exercise program for breast cancer survivors who are undergoing treatment is not known. This pre-post-design study evaluated the effects of the "Breast cancer patients Engaging in Activity while Undergoing Treatment" (BEAUTY) program on physical and psychosocial outcomes after 12 and 24 weeks.

Evaluation of a Community-Based Exercise Program for Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment.

Background: Exercise is important during treatment for breast cancer to alleviate the usual declines in physical and emotional health and overall health-related quality of life (HRQL).

Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness, safety, and enjoyment of a community exercise program for breast cancer patients who were currently undergoing or within 3 months of completing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Methods: Breast cancer patients Engaging in Activity while Undergoing Treatment (BEAUTY) is a 12-week program of resistance, aerobic, and flexibility exercise.
