Background: Physical activity affects office employees in achieving a healthy lifestyle and preventing diseases such as Musculoskeletal Diseases (MSDS). Combining sports such as stretching exercises in healthy lifestyle programs is one of the most important decisions to prevent such disease.Purpose: This study aimed to predict factors of interpersonal and situational influences for stretching exercise (SE) among office employees at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 420 office employees recruited by multi-stage cluster sampling. Self-administered questionnaires of SE and interpersonal and situational influences based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model, as well as socio-demographic data, were used in this study. The collected data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and logistic regression tests.Results: Results showed that among 420 participants, the scores of interpersonal and situational influences, and SE were 4.6±11.52, 4.5±14.21, and 2.48±17.64, respectively. There was a significant relationship between interpersonal influence and SE (r=0.54; p<0.05), and undergoing treatment and SE (r=0.77; p<0.05). There was no relationship between situational influence and SE (r=0.107; p>0.05), and interpersonal influences were a strong predictor for SE behavior.Conclusion: This study showed that the office employees who were more interpersonal influencers were more likely to do stretching exercise behavior. Therefore, interpersonal factors could be used as an educational principle in facilitating admission behavior of SE regarding Pender’s Model.

“…Studies on yoga benefits in cancer patients suffer from heterogeneity with various types of yoga interventions, duration, exposure, practices, and indications. 29 For example, different types of yoga training, such as Bali Yoga, 30,31 Vivekananda Yoga, 32 and Hatha Yoga, 33 among others might have a different influence on the observed effects, but evidence comparing various yoga types is still absent. In addition, the duration, schedules, and frequency of yoga support with or without specialized supervision differed in many published investigations to date.…”

Background: Cancer patients frequently suffer from a reduced physical activity. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as yoga, provide opportunities to deal with these symptoms. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of yoga on the well-being of cancer patients.Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, we analyzed the effects of yoga on the well-being of cancer patients. Fifty-one patients received yoga training specifically designed to address cancer-related problems. Before the start (SoS) and after the end (EoS) of training, the WHO-5 well-being index was used to evaluate patients’ perception.Results: WHO-5 scores significantly improved from 47.1±21.4 at SoS to 69.7±15.1 at EoS. Patients in the middle age group (EoS–SoS: 28.0±20.6) showed a significantly higher benefit (p<0.005) compared with age groups <40 years (EoS–SoS: 10.7±15.4) and >60 years (EoS–SoS: 16.0±12.1). Patients with low initial scores benefited most from yoga.Conclusion: Our study showed that yoga training under experienced supervision could serve as a beneficial complementary treatment in cancer patients. Best effects were observed in patients with highly reduced well-being and 40–60-year-old patients.

“…Exercise has been shown to be safe and effective for cancer patients at all stages of treatment [ 1 ••]. Cancer patients who participate in exercise have been found to have improved quality of life and decreased anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disorders [ 79 – 81 ]. Furthermore, when exercise is initiated prior to or concurrent with cancer treatment, there has been a noted overall improvement in tolerance to cancer treatment, functional outcomes, cardiorespiratory function, and decreased risk of cancer-related mortality and cancer recurrence [ 82 , 83 ].…”

Purpose of Review Providing rehabilitation to patients with cancer can be challenging due to the medical complexity associated with the illness and its treatments. This article provides the reader with a summary of frequently encountered medical conditions in the cancer population and associated safety considerations and precautions. An update on treatment modalities commonly used for symptom management is also presented. Recent Findings Cancer and cancer treatments can cause changes in multiple organ systems. Special considerations and precautions are necessary to provide safe and effective rehabilitation. Physical modalities can be used as monotherapy or adjunct to treatment for common cancer-related side effects with recent studies noting benefit with a variety of modalities. Summary Detailed assessment of the cancer patient is necessary before implementing a rehabilitation program. Understanding cancer and side effects of treatments, including newer options, are necessary to provide safe care.
