Journal ArticleDOI
Translating physical activity interventions for breast cancer survivors into practice: an evaluation of randomized controlled trials.
TL;DR: It is recommended that future physical activity interventions in BCS be designed to facilitate scalable and sustainable interventions for improving health outcomes in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the theory of planned behavior mediate the effects of an oncologist's recommendation to exercise in newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors? Results from a randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: This randomized trial examined the effects of 2 oncologist-based exercise interventions--recommendation only (RO) and recommendation plus referral (RR)--versus usual care (UC) on social-cognitive constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB); however, only the RO intervention impacted perceived behavioral control (PBC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of different measurement scales on the variability and predictive validity of the “two-component” model of the theory of planned behavior in the exercise domain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of five different measurement scales on the variability and predictive validity of the TPB in the exercise domain, and concluded that the standard 7-point scale is still the optimal measurement scale for the planned behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise Discussions During Cancer Treatment Consultations
Lee W. Jones,Kerry S. Courneya +1 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that most cancer survivors responding to this survey preferred that their oncologist initiate a discussion of exercise, and such a discussion appears to increase survivor exercise levels during treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of physical activity self-efficacy among breast cancer survivors
TL;DR: Structural equation analyses demonstrated significant and direct associations for perceived PA barriers, fatigue, social support, enjoyment, and prediagnosis PA with barriers self-efficacy with multiple potential efficacy correlates exist and may vary based on the aspect of self-efficiency examined.
