Key result
The OncoActive computer-tailored physical activity intervention did not significantly improve ActiGraph moderate-to-vigorous physical activity minutes per week compared to usual care at 12 months.
Why the study?
Physical activity improves health in prostate and colorectal cancer survivors, but behavior change maintenance is necessary for long-term health benefits.
Does a computer-tailored physical activity intervention improve long-term physical activity and health-related outcomes in prostate and colorectal cancer patients and survivors?

Does a computer-tailored physical activity intervention improve long-term physical activity and health-related outcomes in prostate and colorectal cancer patients and survivors?
A computer-tailored physical activity intervention did not significantly increase long-term objective physical activity compared to usual care, likely due to natural improvement in the control group, though it did reduce long-term fatigue.
Golsteijn et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Prostate and colorectal cancer (n=478). OncoActive (computer-tailored physical activity intervention) vs. Usual care waitlist control was evaluated on ActiGraph moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) min/week. The OncoActive computer-tailored physical activity intervention did not significantly improve ActiGraph moderate-to-vigorous physical activity minutes per week compared to usual care at 12 months.
