“…An analysis of the exercise patterns across the cancer experience replicated the four patterns of maintainers, temporary relapsers, permanent relapsers, and non-exercisers from previous research (Courneya and Friedenreich, 1997a,b;Keats et al, 1999) but also identified a fifth exercise pattern which we labeled adopters (inactive prediagnosis and during treatment but active posttreatment). This fifth pattern of adopters was also the next largest exercise pattern in the only other study among breast cancer survivors (Courneya and Friedenreich, 1997a) and suggests that a small number of individuals (about 10%) may be motivated to adopt exercise following breast cancer treatment (Denmark-Wahnefried et al, 2000).…”

“…An examination of the frequencies, however, revealed five patterns with sample sizes sufficient to be considered clinically meaningful. Four of the patterns were the same as those identified by Courneya and colleagues (Courneya and Friedenreich, 1997a,b;Keats et al, 1999) but a fifth pattern also emerged which we labeled adopters (i.e. inactive at prediagnosis and during treatment but active posttreatment).…”

“…Furthermore, recent research has suggested that it is the pattern or change in exercise behavior across the cancer experience (i.e. from prediagnosis to treatment to posttreatment) that may be the important determinant of QOL rather than the absolute level of exercise at any single time period (Courneya and Friedenreich, 1997a,b;Keats et al, 1999). The specific exercise patterns identified by Courneya and colleagues have been labeled maintainers (active at all three time periods), temporary relapsers (active prediagnosis, inactive during treatment, active posttreatment), permanent relapsers (active prediagnosis, inactive during treatment and posttreatment), and non-exercisers (inactive during all three time periods).…”

Personality and exercise participation across the breast cancer experience

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality and exercise participation across the breast cancer experience. Based on the Five-Factor Model and previous exercise research, it was hypothesized that high scores of extraversion (E) and conscientiousness (C), and low scores of neuroticism (N) would discriminate exercise stage during and following cancer treatment as well as changes in exercise stage across the cancer experience (i.e. from prediagnosis through treatment to posttreatment). Participants were 175 non-metastatic breast cancer survivors who completed a mailed questionnaire that assessed demographic and medical information, personality (the NEO-Five Factor Inventory), and exercise stage recalled for three time periods (prediagnosis, during treatment, and posttreatment). Multivariate analysis of variance showed differences in personality based on exercise stage both during cancer treatment and posttreatment and also for exercise pattern across the cancer experience. Univariate F-tests and post hoc analyses identified N, E, and C as the key personality dimensions. N was associated with earlier exercise stages and a maladaptive exercise pattern whereas E and C were associated with more advanced exercise stages and adaptive exercise patterns. It was concluded that personality may be an important determinant of exercise following breast cancer diagnosis.

“…A 2000 review of 38 studies (Thune & Smeland, 2000) encompassed 1451 cancer patients, half of whom had breast cancer (Lindgarde et al, 1982;MacVicar & Winningham, 1986;Winningham & MacVicar, 1988;Mock et al, 1994;Bremer et al, 1997;Dimeo et al, 1997Dimeo et al, , 1998Dimeo et al, , 1999 Exercise as therapy in chronic disease , 1997aPinto et al, 1998;Schulz et al, 1998;Segar et al, 1998;Derman et al, 1999;Keats et al, 1999;Courneya et al, 2000). The majority, but not all, of the studies were intervention studies (Winningham & MacVicar, 1988;Sant et al, 1995;Pinto et al, 1998;Courneya & Friedenreich, 1999;Dimeo et al, 1999;Courneya et al, 2000).…”

Considerable knowledge has accumulated in recent decades concerning the significance of physical activity in the treatment of a number of diseases, including diseases that do not primarily manifest as disorders of the locomotive apparatus. In this review we present the evidence for prescribing exercise therapy in the treatment of metabolic syndrome‐related disorders (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity), heart and pulmonary diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, intermittent claudication), muscle, bone and joint diseases (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome) and cancer, depression, asthma and type 1 diabetes. For each disease, we review the effect of exercise therapy on disease pathogenesis, on symptoms specific to the diagnosis, on physical fitness or strength and on quality of life. The possible mechanisms of action are briefly examined and the principles for prescribing exercise therapy are discussed, focusing on the type and amount of exercise and possible contraindications.

“…Although the literature is quite limited, physical activity may potentially influence a range of physical and psychosocial outcomes, thus improving health-related quality of life (HRQL) in childhood cancer survivors (Aziz, 2002;Clarke & Eiser, 2007;Culos-Reed, 2002;Ganz, 1998;Hudson & Oeffinger, 2007;Larcombe, Mott, & Hunt, 2002;Schwartz, 1999;Varricchio & Aziz, 2000;White et al, 2005). However, many survivors do not regain prediagnosis activity levels on their own, calling for targeted efforts from the health care team to promote physical activity into long-term survivorship (Keats, Courneya, Danielsen, & Whitsett, 1999;Keats, Culos-Reed, Courneya, & McBride, 2006). Indeed, the Children's Oncology Group (2006) Late Effects Committee has provided recent guidelines for physical activity participation, despite the scarcity of specific information on the benefits or mechanisms of physical activity participation in this population.…”

The present study examined physical activity levels within young families of pediatric cancer survivors and the relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQL). Nineteen families were recruited, including 33 parents, 17 pediatric cancer survivors, and 10 siblings. Families completed a self-report survey on background information, physical activity levels, and PedsQL generic core scale for child HRQL. Results of this cross-sectional study indicate that families were generally active, with mothers more frequently participating in overall physical activity (P < .001). Within families, parent-child physical activity levels were associated, but not survivor-sibling physical activity. Survivors and siblings did not differ in their self-reported physical activity levels or HRQL, and no association was observed between physical activity and HRQL. However, discrepancies between sibling self-report and parent proxy-reported HRQL were notable. Overall, results from this exploratory pilot work will assist in further research into physical activity behaviors and HRQL in families of pediatric cancer survivors.The nurse should consider the varied experiences of family members, particularly those of siblings, through long-term follow-up.
