A Study of Exercise Modality and Physical Self-esteem in Breast Cancer Survivors

Abstract

A single-modality R program significantly improved all domains of PSE, and participation in the A program improved the PC subdomain. The combination exercise program did not enhance PSE greater than the single-modality programs. EXSEM was a useful framework for exploring esteem in breast cancer survivors.

Supervised physical exercise improves VO2max, quality of life, and health in early stage breast cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial

“…Our results are similar to previous studies and meta-analysis [8,36,[51][52][53][54][55][56]. However, this is a post-treatment study, which may lead to greater changes than previous studies developed during chemotherapy [57], suggesting that the best opportunity to modify PROs should be after cancer (neo) adjuvant treatments.…”

Interventions to improve exercise behaviour in sedentary people living with and beyond cancer: a systematic review

“…Given that the detail of prescribed exercise is rarely reported in manuscript abstracts (e.g., frequency, intensity and duration of exercise prescription), this led to a large number of manuscripts being evaluated at the full-text stage ( n =402). After consensus agreement between study authors, 14 RCTs were included in this review (McKenzie and Kalda, 2003; Pinto et al , 2003, 2005, 2013; Drouin et al , 2005; Kim et al , 2006; Daley et al , 2007; Cadmus et al , 2009; Hayes et al , 2009; Perna et al , 2010; Kaltsatou et al , 2011; Bourke et al , 2011a, 2011b; Musanti, 2012). A total of 648 participants were randomised in these trials.…”

“…Seven trials used a combination of supervised and non-supervised exercises (Pinto et al , 2003; Kim et al , 2006; Cadmus et al , 2009; Hayes et al , 2009; Perna et al , 2010; Bourke et al , 2011a, 2011b); four trials were exclusively home-based (Drouin et al , 2005; Pinto et al , 2005, 2013; Musanti, 2012); and just three were exclusively supervised trials (McKenzie and Kalda, 2003; Daley et al , 2007; Kaltsatou et al , 2011). Contact with exercise professionals or study researchers ranged from 20 times over 12 weeks (Hayes et al , 2009) to weekly phone calls after an initial one-to-one exercise consultation (Pinto et al , 2005, 2013).…”
