Interventions to promote exercise in cancer survivors who report better levels of adherence share some common behaviour change techniques .
These involve setting programme goals , prompting practise and self-monitoring and encouraging participants to attempt to generalise behaviours learned in supervised exercise environments to other , non-supervised context s. However , expecting most sedentary survivors to achieve current guideline recommendations of at least 150 minutes per week of aerobic exercise is likely to be unrealistic .
BACKGROUND The beneficial effects of regular exercise for people living with or beyond cancer are becoming apparent .
However , how to promote exercise behaviour in sedentary cancer cohorts is not as well understood .
A large majority of people living with or recovering from cancer do not meet exercise recommendations .

OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of interventions to promote exercise behaviour in sedentary people living with and beyond cancer and to address the following questions : Which interventions are most effective in improving aerobic fitness and skeletal muscle strength and endurance ?
What adverse effects are attributed to different exercise interventions ?
Which interventions are most effective in improving exercise behaviour amongst patients with different cancers ?
Which interventions are most likely to promote long-term ( 12 months or longer ) exercise behaviour ?
What frequency of contact with exercise professionals is associated with increased exercise behaviour ?
What theoretical basis is most often associated with increased exercise behaviour ?
What behaviour change techniques are most often associated with increased exercise behaviour ?
[Effects of a home-based exercise program for patients with stomach cancer receiving oral chemotherapy after surgery].
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a home based exercise program for patients with stomach cancer who were undergoing oral chemotherapy . METHODS The home-based exercise program was developed from the study findings of Winningham ( 1990 ) and data from the Korea Athletic Promotion Association ( 2007 ) . The home-based exercise program consisted of 8 weeks of individual exercise education and exercise adherence strategy . Participants were 24 patients with stomach cancer who were undergoing oral chemotherapy following surgery in 2007 or 2008 at a university hospital in Seoul . Patients were r and omly assigned to either the experimental group ( 11 ) or control group ( 13 ) . The effects of the home-based exercise program were measured by level of cancer related fatigue , NK cell ratio , anxiety , and quality of life . Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 13.0 version . RESULTS The degree of cancer related fatigue and anxiety in the experimental group decreased compared to the control group . The NK cell ratio and the degree of quality of life of experimental group increased while that of the control group decreased . CONCLUSION This study result indicate the importance of exercise and provide empirical evidence for continuation of safe exercise for patients with cancer during their chemotherapy
