“…The most frequently reported barriers among all cancer survivors included competing time commitments between work and personal recreation and treatment-related limitations such as physical discomfort or fatigue. [10][11][12][13] Cost of gym memberships or exercise class participation was a reported barrier for survivors from lower S.E.S. backgrounds but was not concretely associated with race alone.…”

Cancer survivors have an increased risk of treatment-related deficits in physical health and low health-related quality of life. In this cross-sectional study, a health questionnaire was mailed to women from the Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program aged 45-70 and diagnosed with cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer in 2005-2014. Of the 5,941 surveys with valid postal addresses, 586 (10%) were completed and returned. The average age of respondents was 66 years old, and 36% identified as non-white. Non-white respondents were less likely to have a college degree (p<0.001), more likely to sleep for less than seven hours each night (p<0.001), experience bodily pain (p<0.001), and have a diagnosis of cervical cancer (p=0.002), when compared to white respondents. Health behaviors and determinants were examined across cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer cases. Cervical cancer survivors reported sleeping less than 7 hours per night, on average (p=0.015). Race was associated with sleep duration among endometrial (p=0.002) and ovarian (p=0.003) cancer survivors. Menopausal status was associated with the relationship between race and sleep duration (p<0.001). Depression was inversely related to sleep duration (p = 0.022) but was not associated with race, menopausal status, time since treatment, physical activity, or cancer type. Postmenopausal cervical cancer survivors reported a moderate concern about fall risk compared to their premenopausal counterparts (p=0.048). Physical activity levels increased as time since treatment increased (p=0.003) regardless of cancer type. Race, menopausal status, depression, and cancer type impacted the sleep duration.

“…Group based exercise can create a sense of belonging and sociability rather than just exercising [48], [49]. Previous research found that having activities tailored to their ability and group support were two important benefits of a community-based exercise programme [50].…”

Introduction: Exercise support for people with cancer is a national priority. The purpose of this study was to identify the success factors necessary to create a model of exercise support for people affected by cancer in a large city in the north of England.Method: Two groups of participants were recruited; people affected by cancer (n=26) and professional stakeholders (n=14) contributing to either focus groups or semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using framework analysis.Results: Results from this study suggest that the promotion of exercise is not a priority in routine cancer care. Patients identified a lack of support and difficulty attaining information as a barrier to becoming active, emphasising a gulf between the patients' needs and the health professionals' priorities. People affected by cancer and professionals agreed that exercise was beneficial to cancer patients both during and after treatment. For an exercise pathway to be successful, key factors were identified including accessibility; tailored support; social interaction; affordability; competence of exercise delivery staff.Conclusions: There was consensus on the importance of exercise and critical factors required to develop a sustainable, accessible and effective service.Evidence to inform the development of an exercise pathway for people affected by cancer is provided.
