“…In particular, the “exercise stage of change” of cancer patients and the intention to operate a health-changing behaviour are significant predictor of exercise adherence [ 240 ]. The exercise stages of change derive from the transtheoretical model of behaviour change (TTM, a widespread model to explain personal behavioural change) applied to regular exercise and analyses change as a progression through six different stages [ 241 ].…”

Cancer patients experience symptoms and adverse effects of treatments that may last even after the end of treatments. Exercise is a safe, non-pharmacological and cost-effective therapy that can provide several health benefits in cancer patient and survivors, reducing cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects. The purpose of this review is to describe how the physical exercise is capable to reduce cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects. We realized a pragmatic classification of symptoms, dividing them into physical, psychological and psycho-physical aspects. For each symptom we discuss causes, therapies, we analyse the effects of physical exercise and we summarize the most effective type of exercise to reduce the symptoms. This review also points out what are the difficulties that patients and survivors face during the practice of physical activity and provides some solutions to overcome these barriers.Related to each specific cancer, it emerges that type, frequency and intensity of physical exercise could be prescribed and supervised as a therapeutic program, like it occurs for the type, dose and duration of a drug treatment.

“…An employee's stage of readiness to change has been found to predict physical activity levels (Bezyak, Berven, & Chan, 2011;Horiuchi, Tsuda, Watanabe, Fukamachi, & Samejima, 2012;Rosenkranz et al, 2015). For example, the likelihood of employees signing up for a workplace physical activity challenge was 1.64 times higher for those in the preparation stage versus the precontemplation and contemplation stages and 1.98 times higher for those in the action/maintenance stages (Walker, Tullar, Taylor, Roman, & Amick, 2016).…”

Physical activity readiness of front-line employees caring for adults with disabilities ( N = 381) improved during a two-phase project based on stages of change (SOC) theory. In Phase 1, we assessed barriers to, and readiness for, participation in an employee wellness program. We collected data from workers using focus groups and a preintervention physical activity readiness survey. Focus groups ( N = 14) identified barriers, including lack of communication about the employee wellness program. With respect to their SOC ( N = 82), 7% were in precontemplation, 16% in contemplation, 52% preparation, 5% in action, and 20% in maintenance SOC. In Phase 2, we aimed to improve readiness for participation in the program. We used SOC-based employee Facebook group messages, a health education fair, and measurement through a postintervention physical activity readiness survey. The mean number of “views” in which the workers saw the 16 theory-based messages was 12.2 (range = 0-27). Fourteen adults and 17 children attended the fair. Postintervention survey results ( N = 125) indicated physical activity readiness improvement with 1% in precontemplation, 21% in contemplation, 33% in preparation, 33% in action, and 12% in maintenance SOC.

“…Next we evaluate the patient's stage of change. The Stages of Change model describes patients' behavior regarding addiction and has been validated for use in physical activity counseling [57,58]. The model describes 6 stages: precontemplation (not intending to exercise), contemplation (planning to exercise in the next 6 months), preparation (exercising less than the recommended amount), action (meeting the exercise goal for less than 6 months), maintenance (exercising more than 6 months), and relapse (slipping to earlier stage).…”

One- half of women in the United States do not meet the weekly dose of physical activity recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. Many women could benefit tremendously if they were to adopt a more active lifestyle. Health benefits from exercise include lowering the risk for cardiovascular disease, slowing the rate of bone loss in osteoporosis, and improving mood during pregnancy. In this article, we review the health benefits that women may gain from physical activity and the recommendations for physical activity for adults in the United States. We offer evidence supporting use of the exercise prescription, discuss how to write an exercise prescription, and how to tailor the exercise prescription for women with particular medical problems.
