Physical Activity After Breast Cancer: Effect on Survival and Patient-Reported Outcomes
Darren R. Brenner,Heather K. Neilson,Kerry S. Courneya,Christine M. Friedenreich,Christine M. Friedenreich +4 more
TL;DR: Despite gaps in knowledge, there is sufficient evidence regarding feasibility, safety, and efficacy to recommend physical activity as a complementary adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of resistance training in post-treatment breast cancer survivors.
Camille E. Short,Erica L. James,Corneel Vandelanotte,Kerry S. Courneya,Mitch J. Duncan,Amanda L. Rebar,Ronald C. Plotnikoff +6 more
TL;DR: Strategies targeting task self-efficacy and goal-setting behaviours are likely to be important intervention components in resistance training interventions for breast cancer survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hispanic ethnicity as a moderator of the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on physical fitness and quality-of-life in breast cancer survivors.
Christina M. Dieli-Conwright,Frank S. Fox,Debu Tripathy,Nathalie Sami,Jessica Van Fleet,Thomas A. Buchanan,Darcy V. Spicer,Kyuwan Lee,Joanne E. Mortimer,Leslie Bernstein,Wendy Demark-Wahnefried,Kerry S. Courneya +11 more
TL;DR: The exercise intervention highlights the importance of exercise for minority cancer survivors and the need for distinct, culturally tailored exercise intervention approaches to reduce psychosocial and fitness-related disparities among this understudied population of cancer survivors.
Physical activity in cancer survivors: implications for recurrence and mortality
Kerry S. Courneya,Lee W. Jones,Adrian Fairey,Kristin L. Campbell,Christine M. Friedenreich,John R. Mackey +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence from other populations on cancer incidence, cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality, however, suggests that exercise could potentially affect these endpoints in cancer survivors, and recommends exercise to cancer survivors based on preliminary evidence for a quality of life benefit.
physical activity workplace intervention: does it explain behaviour change in women?
TL;DR: The intervention did not change these mediators in any substantive way, and show a similar pattern to prior research where interventions generally do not result in a change in mediation of behavior change.
