“…Approximately 80% of German adults did not meet the nationally recommended physical activity guidelines of ≥ 150 minutes per week of aerobic MVPA and MSE ≥ 2 days per week. Considering that evidence that combined aerobic MVPA-MSE is independently associated with a multiple beneficial health outcomes [13,14,22,26,30], our findings suggest the need for immediate public health action to address physical inactivity in Germany.…”

“…In addition, recent epidemiological studies have shown that compared to meeting one guideline alone, meeting both aerobic MVPA-MSE guidelines is prospectively associated with lower risk of allcause mortality [13,14].…”

“…Yet the majority of cancer survivors are not meeting these recommended PA guidelines [11–13]. Previous research exploring why cancer survivors are not physically active has identified a variety of barriers to PA, such as cancer treatment-related side effects, pain, fatigue, comorbid medical conditions, time, and motivation [14–19].…”

“…They should aim to participate in moderate to vigorous exercise for at least 150 min/wk, and strength training should be a part of their regimen . A recently published analysis of National Health Interview Survey linked mortality data suggested that cancer survivors who reported adhering to the complete ACS PA guidelines had a significantly lower risk of all‐cause, cancer‐specific, and cardiovascular disease–specific mortality …”

Background The benefit of regular exercise in improving cancer outcomes is well established. The American Cancer Society (ACS) released a recommendation that cancer survivors should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) per week; however, few report meeting this recommendation. This study examined the patterns and correlates of meeting ACS PA recommendations in the Detroit Research on Cancer Survivors (ROCS) cohort of African American cancer survivors. Methods Detroit ROCS participants completed baseline and yearly follow‐up surveys to update their health and health behaviors, including PA. This study examined participation in PA by select characteristics and reported health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) as measured with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy and Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System instruments. Results Among the first 1500 ROCS participants, 60% reported participating in regular PA, with 24% reporting ≥150 min/wk. Although there were no differences by sex, prostate cancer survivors were the most likely to report participating in regular PA, whereas lung cancer survivors were the least likely (P = .022). Survivors who reported participating in regular PA reported higher HRQOL (P < .001) and lower depression (P = .040). Conclusions Just 24% of African American cancer survivors reported meeting the ACS guidelines for PA at the baseline, but it was encouraging to see increases in activity over time. Because of the established benefits of regular exercise observed in this study and others, identifying and reducing barriers to regular PA among African American cancer survivors are critical for improving outcomes and minimizing disparities.

Muscle-strengthening and aerobic activities and mortality among 3+ year cancer survivors in the U.S.

Abstract: While muscle-strengthening activities by themselves do not appear to reduce mortality risks, such activities may provide added cancer-specific survival benefits to 3+ year cancer survivors who are already aerobically active.
