This research aims to understand how perceived neighborhood environments affect physical activity in breast cancer patients during treatment.
Conducted cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses within the DISCO trial.
Used the ALPHA questionnaire to assess perceived neighborhood environment.
Evaluated physical activity with the Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire and the 6-Minute Walk Test.
Employed mixed linear regression models to estimate associations.
Better perceived cycling and walking infrastructures linked to higher self-reported physical activity.
Increased perceived distance to local facilities negatively affected the 6-Minute Walk Distance.
Perceptions of densely populated neighborhoods correlated with smaller increases in physical activity during intervention.
