May guide behavioral strategy selection in cancer survivor rehab; leaves open optimal approaches for specific populations and CV outcomes.
Physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of mortality among cancer survivors and promotes heart health in a population of patients with cancer at risk for cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, the majority of cancer survivors do not meet national physical activity guidelines. A wide range of strategies, including education, coaching, and behavioral change theories, have been used in interventions aimed at increasing physical activity among cancer survivors. We sought to review the most compelling practices to inform oncology rehabilitation programs focused on improving physical activity among cancer survivors. We identify both effective and ineffective strategies for behavioral change, as well as highlight areas where more research focus is needed to improve physical activity among cancer survivors.
