“…Second, exhaustion was indicated by a self response of “more than 3 days a week” to either of the following statements: “I felt everything I did was an effort” or “I could not get going” on the Center for Epidemiological Studies‐Depression Scale . Third, physical inactivity was measured by the Taiwan International Physical Activity Questionnaire‐Short Form . The criterion of the minimum weekly energy expenditure was 383 Kcal for men and 270 Kcal for women .…”

“…Exercise during cancer treatment has been shown to have a beneficial effect on pain for breast cancer patients [44][45][46][47]. In a similar study to ours, Liou et al [45] surveyed the daily physical activity levels of individuals who were undergoing chemotherapy, but were not diagnosed with CIPN. These authors reported that those patients who received the recommended 150 min/wk of moderate activity reported significantly less symptoms of pain than their sedentary counterparts.…”

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, dose-limiting effect of cancer therapy. The neuropathic pain associated with CIPN often has negative implications on an individual's quality of life (QOL) and has long been recognized as one of the more difficult types of pain to treat. Treatment of neuropathic pain due to CIPN often requires a multidisciplinary approach, with much attention focused on the use of pharmacological therapies. However, in most instances, these agents have been shown to have additional negative side effects for cancer patients. Thus, other interventions that address the symptoms of CIPN should be considered. One such possible intervention is exercise rehabilitation, which has previously been reported effective in attenuating numerous cancer treatment-related toxicities and enhancing the QOL of patients. However, to our knowledge, there have been no published clinical trials examining the role of exercise in preserving neurological function following chemotherapy. As such, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the current exercise habits of breast cancer patients who are diagnosed with CIPN and the impact on pain and QOL.Methods: 300 women listed in the Breast Cancer Registry of Greater Cincinnati database were recruited by mail and asked to complete three questionnaires (McGill QOL, Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs, and Current Exercise Behaviors). Data was analyzed at the 0.05 level of significance using a student's t-test and a Pearson's product moment correlation.Results: 134 completed surveys were returned and analyzed (44.6% response rate). Overall, QOL and exercise behaviors were moderately correlated (r = 0.56). Patients reported exercising an average of 2.3 d/wk and an overall QOL of 4.7. Of the patients completing the recommended amount of physical activity (EX, n = 21), QOL was 6.3, which was significantly higher than patients who did not meet these recommendations (SED, n = 113, p<0.001). Likewise, only 15% of EX patients reported experiencing pain compared to 72% of SED patients (p<0.001). Conclusions: Based on these data, it seems likely that an exercise intervention would be successful in attenuating symptoms of CIPN and improving the overall QOL of breast cancer patients.

“…On the contrary, the increased recognition on the necessity of health care due to diagnosis with cancer leads to physical activities. The amount of their physical activity is higher than that of normal middle-aged adults ( Liou et al, 2011 ) and the evidence for the effect of physical activity on the prevention of cancer is rapidly increasing, suggesting that the physical activity of cancer patients is attracting attention as a non-pharmacological intervention during hospitalization ( Luctkar-Flude et al, 2009 ).…”

This study aimed to examine and analyze the relationship between the physical activity of cancer patients during the hospitalization and the change in exercise recognition and restrictions on physical activity in depth. In this study, adult cancer patients aged more than 20 years residing in the metropolitan area (such as Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon) were selected as a population, and 194 cancer patients from five general hospitals located in metropolitan area were selected as subjects by the purposive sampling. The relative importance for the effect on the physical restriction was greater in the order of the time spent in sedentary activities and exercise positive recognition. The relative importance for cognitive psychological restriction was greater in the order of negative exercise recognition, positive exercise recognition, the time spent in sedentary activities, the time spent in ordinary daily activities and the time spent in intentional movement. In the hospital environment restriction, the facility had a statistically significant effect on the movement and positive exercise recognition. But, sociocultural restrictions were not affected by positive exercise recognition. As a result of this study, it was found that the physical activity restrictions of the cancer patients may affect differently depending on the physical activity level, exercise experience, and exercise recognition, requiring the interpretation of the physical activity restrictions in various ways.

Daily-Life Physical Activity and Related Factors Among Patients With Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy in Taiwan

Abstract: Strategies to enhance cancer patients' physical activity level should include counseling patients to remain employed, offering symptom management such as pain relief, advising energy reserve skills, and providing appropriate places for exercise or walking.
