“…Similar findings have been observed in observational studies (17,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), which nearly all had a cross-sectional design (17,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)30). The only 2 prospective studies found increased physical activity to be associated with improved HRQoL, but did not take dietary factors into account (28,29).…”

Background: Well-designed studies on lifestyle and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in colorectal cancer survivors based on a biopsychosocial instead of a traditional biomedical approach are warranted. We report on the applicability of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) as useful biopsychosocial framework to improve research on how lifestyle influences colorectal cancer survivors' HRQoL, using the Energy for life after ColoRectal cancer (EnCoRe) study as an example.Methods: The ICF was used to develop a conceptual model for studying lifestyle and colorectal cancer survivors' HRQoL, by identifying relevant factors from literature and mapping them within the ICF. Subsequently, this model was used for selection of measurement instruments and biomarkers. By linking meaningful concepts within selected measures to the ICF, we could assess the ICF coverage of our developed conceptual model.Results: Within selected measures, 450 meaningful concepts were identified, of which 88% were linked to the ICF. The linking process resulted in 132 distinctive ICF categories assigned (38% within "Body Functions," 2% within "Body Structures," 46% within "Activities and Participation," and 14% within "Environmental Factors").Conclusions: The selected EnCoRe study measures broadly cover ICF domains relevant to colorectal cancer survivors, stressing the relevance of using a biopsychosocial approach for studying this population's HRQoL.Impact: The developed conceptual model will guide data analyses and interpretation, and facilitate early transfer of results for development, evaluation, and implementation of personalized multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions. We recommend the ICF as an invaluable framework for improving the quality and scope of HRQoL studies. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 23(7); 1394-405. Ó2014 AACR.

“…To alleviate these sequelae, there is increasingly more scientific evidence of the physical and psychological benefits of physical activity, both during and after treatment for this disease (Garcia & Thomson, 2014). Specifically, in colorectal cancer, it was found that regular exercise and improved physical condition are associated with many indicators of quality of life (Courneya, Friedenreich, Arthur, & Bobick, 1999a;Courneya et al, 2004;Courneya, Mackey, & Jones, 2000), with a lower probability of recurrence (Meyerhardt, Heseltine et al, 2006) and lower risk of death (Meyerhardt et al, 2008). In the study of Meyerhardt, Heseltine et al (2006), it was found that patients who walked at least 6 hours per week at moderate intensity had a 47% higher chance of surviving the disease.…”

Different studies of patients with colorectal cancer have shown that physical activity has positive physical and psychosocial effects. However, most patients do not comply with the recommended criteria of physical activity. The aim of the present study was to analyze, by means of a systematic review of the literature, the factors associated with physical activity participation in patients with colorectal cancer. For this purpose, we conducted a search in the databases WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS and SPORTDISCUS up to February of 2016. After the selection process, 23 full-text articles were retained. The results allowed identifying four large categories of factors related to physical activity participation in this population: sociodemographic factors, health factors (specific and nonspecific to the disease), prior experience and preferences, and motivational factors. Among the results obtained, comorbidity and the receipt of adjuvant therapy (with its corresponding side effects, such as fatigue and nausea) were related to less physical activity. Variables such as positive attitude, family support, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and self-determined motivation were shown to be facilitators of physical activity. Taking into account these results, it is necessary to develop programs of physical activity adapted to the particular characteristics of this population and based on motivational strategies that promote adherence to physical activity. Keywords: physical exercise, motivation, barriers, treatment, health Factores que promueven o dificultan la práctica de actividad física en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal: Una revisión sistemática RESUMEN: Diferentes estudios con pacientes de cáncer colorrectal han demostrado que el ejercicio físico tiene efectos físicos y psicosociales positivos. Sin embargo, la mayoría de pacientes no cumple los criterios de actividad física recomendados. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar, a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, los factores asociados con la práctica de actividad física en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS y SPORTDISCUS hasta febrero de 2016. Tras el proceso de selección, se retuvieron 23 artículos a texto completo. Los resultados permitieron identificar cuatro grandes categorías de factores relacionados con la práctica de actividad física en esta población: factores sociodemográficos, factores de salud (específicos y no específicos de la enfermedad), preferencias y experiencias previas, y factores motivacionales. Entre los resultados obtenidos, cabe destacar que la comorbilidad y la recepción de terapia adyuvante (con sus correspondientes efectos secundarios como Physical activity in patients with colorectal cancer © Psy, Soc, & Educ, 2017, Vol. 9(2) 202 fatiga y náuseas), se relacionaron con una menor realización de actividad física. Variables como la actitud positiva, el apoyo familiar, la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y la mot...

Cancer survivors are often highly motivated to seek information about food choices, physical activity, dietary supplement use, and complementary nutritional therapies to improve their treatment outcomes, quality of life, and survival. To address these concerns, the American Cancer Society (ACS) convened a group of experts in nutrition, physical activity, and cancer to evaluate the scientific evidence and best clinical practices related to optimal nutrition and physical activity after the diagnosis of cancer. This report summarizes their findings and is intended to present health care providers with the best possible information on which to help cancer survivors and their families make informed choices related to nutrition and physical activity. The report discusses nutrition and physical activity issues during the phases of cancer treatment and recovery, living after recovery from treatment, and living with advanced cancer; selected nutritional and physical activity issues such as body weight, food choices, and complementary and alternative nutritional options; and selected issues related to breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, head and neck, and upper gastrointestinal cancers. In addition, handouts containing commonly asked questions and answers and a resource list are provided for survivors and families. Tables that grade the scientific evidence for benefit versus harm related to nutrition and physical activity for breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers are also included for this growing body of knowledge to provide guidance for informed decision making and to identify areas for future research.
