“…According to studies using the theory of planned behaviour 33,48,49 , physical activity levels in cancer patients are influenced by several factors, including the beliefs of significant others. Jones et al 50 reported that oncologists may be one group of "significant others" whose encouragement can significantly increase the level of physical activity in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Roberts et al 47 also showed that while many physicians who responded to a survey do not disapprove of their cancer patients becoming more physically active, they rarely initiated such discussions.…”

Context: Prostate cancer patients, especially those on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) experience many symptoms that make it difficult to maintain their independence and quality of life. As ADT act via reducing testosterone production, exercise may offset many of the ADT side-effects and that of the cancer itself. Objectives: This article sought to conduct a systematic review of the literature on whether exercise could reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for prostate cancer patients. Methods: Using relevant databases and keywords, 12 training studies were found meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Grade A level evidence was observed for the benefits of exercise in improving muscular endurance, aerobic endurance and overall quality of life as well as reducing fatigue in prostate cancer patients. Grade B evidence also suggested that exercise may improve prostate cancer patients' muscle mass, muscular strength, functional performance (walking and sit to stand speed) as well as health-related, social and physical quality of life. These effects appeared greater for group-rather than home-based exercise; especially if these programs including resistance training. Conclusion: It is recommended that most prostate cancer patients be encouraged to exercise regularly by their clinicians and significant others. Where possible, this exercise should be group-based and include some resistance training. Future research in this area should directly compare group-and home-based as well as resistance, aerobic and combined resistance and aerobic training to better elucidate the most effective forms of exercise for this population and what factors affect initiation and adherence to such programs.

Our aim was to synthesise the existing empirical literature and theoretical perspectives on the physical activity promotion practices and determinants of cancer clinicians and health professionals. We conducted a narrative review of theory and evidence to develop practice recommendations for improving the promotion of physical activity to cancer patients. Surveyed health professionals were aware of many benefits of physical activity for their cancer patients, although only ~40% promoted physical activity to selected cancer patients. Walking was most commonly promoted form of PA, with this promoted to assist patients control their weight and cardiovascular health risk. Barriers to promotion of physical activity included lack of time and knowledge of PA and behaviour change skills. Health professionals appear interested in promoting PA to their cancer patients, yet encounter several barriers. Further research is warranted to assist health professionals improve their PApromotion. An adapted reflective-impulsive model of social behaviour shows promise for assisting health professionals overcome barriers and provides an evidence-based theoretical framework for improving communication with patients. Universities, hospitals and/or healthcare accreditation organisations also have important roles to play in assisting health professionals improve their promotion of physical activity to patients.

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate the sustainability of seniors' exercise behavior by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB). More specifically, preliminary knowledge was incorporated in the TPB to better comprehend seniors' exercise behavior and provide practical implications regarding how to encourage older adults to participate in exercise consistently. Convenience sampling was employed to collect data from participants aged 65 and over (N = 229). The results showed that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control had positive influence on seniors' exercise intention, which in turn positively affected their exercise behavior. Moreover, perceived behavioral control and exercise intention both positively predicted exercise behavior. Finally, preliminary knowledge had a positive influence on seniors' attitude but no direct effect on their exercise intention. The results imply that educational activities and training support designed to improve older adults' attitude toward exercise could contribute to their health and quality of life. Key words: extended theory of planned behavior, preliminary knowledge, senior exercise.

Effects of an oncologist’s recommendation to exercise on self-reported exercise behavior in newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors: a single-blind, randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Our findings suggest that an oncologist recommendation may increase exercise behavior in newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors, particularly if it is recalled 1 week after the recommendation.
