Università Statale del ColoradoSustaining Physical Activity After Cancer Exercise Sessions (SPAACES)
- Aim 1: Examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention among cancer survivors and community partners. The researchers will utilize quantitative surveys, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews to collect information about feasibility, implementation, adaptation, and sustainability.
- Aim 2: Examine the effects of the intervention among cancer survivors. The researchers will compare the proportion of participants achieving the exercise guidelines for cancer survivors six-months following completion of the initial exercise program.
Participants will participate in a community-based exercise oncology program and then return to three months of free living. Based on the PA measured at the three-month follow-up, participants will be categorized as a "Responder" or "Incomplete Responder", and then randomized to the PA maintenance intervention. Researchers will compare those that are classified as Responders (meeting exercise guidelines for cancer survivors) and Incomplete Responders (not meeting guidelines for cancer survivors) to see what level of intervention is needed to influence sustainable behavior change in this population.
Supervised exercise interventions that include theory-based behavior change strategies are effective for facilitating increases in moderate to vigorous, leisure-time PA among cancer survivors. However, few studies have focused on maintaining exercise or PA levels following completion of an intervention, and evidence regarding how exercise interventions for cancer survivors can be expanded to clinic or community practice is only now emerging. To achieve the physical, psychosocial, and survival benefits of exercise, survivors must be able to maintain PA long-term, and to support PA maintenance, a socio-ecological approach is necessary. Our approach is informed by theoretical frameworks including social cognitive theory and group dynamics, which will guide intrapersonal and interpersonal level intervention strategies. Integrated research-practice partnership models will guide strategies to address organizational and community-level influences.
The goal is to develop and test an adaptive randomized trial to enhance PA maintenance among cancer survivors. Our central hypothesis is that participants who have difficulty maintaining PA following a community-based exercise program will benefit from additional support in the form of bi-weekly exercise sessions and/or PA behavior change discussion sessions. Our long-term goal is to develop an evidence-based 'stepped' PA maintenance intervention for cancer survivors that can be disseminated to existing community-based cancer-exercise programs nationwide. In the proposed study, cancer survivors will participate in an existing, cancer-specific exercise program at a community-based facility.
All programs will consist of group-based, supervised, instructor-led aerobic and resistance exercise sessions 2x per week, and three PA behavior change discussion sessions. Upon completion of the program, participants will be encouraged to maintain PA levels during a three-month free-living period, during which time there will be no active intervention. After this follow-up period, PA will be measured, and based on PA response (i.e., achieving exercise guidelines for cancer survivors), participants will be randomized to a 3-month, stepped, PA maintenance intervention. The primary outcome of PA maintenance will be assessed six-months after completion of the initial exercise program.

| Misure di esito | Descrizione della misura | Arco temporale |
|---|---|---|
Physical Activity program | Examine the number of participants achieving the exercise guidelines for cancer survivors defined as moderate-intensity aerobic training at least three times per week, for at least 30 minutes, and resistance training at least two times per week. Aerobic exercise will be measured with an accelerometer (continuous bouts of ≥5 minutes of activity at ≥3 METs) and resistance exercise will be measured with a self-report questionnaire (duration and frequency). The measures will be aggregated to determine total amount of physical activity and whether this amount meets or exceeds the recommended guidelines. | Measured at baseline, after completion of the exercise program (either 8-weeks or 12-weeks), 3-months post program, and 6-months post program |
| Misure di esito | Descrizione della misura | Arco temporale |
|---|---|---|
Quality of Life (QOL) | Measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), a quantitative, self-report measure of QOL. The FACT-G is a 27-item self-report measure, with subscales evaluating physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being. FACT-G scores range from 0 to 108, with higher total and subscale scores indicating better QOL. | Measured at baseline, after completion of the exercise program (either 8-weeks or 12-weeks), 3-months post program, and 6-months post program |
Physical Fitness - Aerobic | Aerobic fitness will be assessed with either a submaximal, graded exercise test on a motorized, calibrated treadmill, or the two minute step test. | Measured at baseline, after completion of the exercise program (either 8-weeks or 12-weeks), 3-months post program, and 6-months post program |
Physical Fitness - muscular strength and endurance | Muscular strength and endurance will be assessed by the number of full stands from a chair, and the number of bicep curls (holding a hand weight of 5lbs) that can be completed in 30 seconds. | Measured at baseline, after completion of the exercise program (either 8-weeks or 12-weeks), 3-months post program, and 6-months post program |
