The purpose of this study was to understand the exercise levels, preferences and interests of prostate cancer survivors in Canada.
An electronic survey was administered via a prostate cancer-specific website and assessed self-reported exercise levels, exercise preferences and interests, exercise barriers and facilitators to exercise.
Based on 103 participants, the majority (75.7%) of prostate cancer survivors did not meet both aerobic and resistance exercise guidelines, despite an interest in exercise. Strongest exercise preferences were shown for resistance exercise, walking, flexibility and bicycling and for performing exercise from a community-based gym or from home. Significant differences in exercise interests and facilitators were found between individuals who were meeting exercise guidelines compared to those who were not.
The majority of Canadian prostate cancer survivors are insufficiently active. Exercise preferences and facilitators appear to be influenced by current exercise levels. Resistance and aerobic exercise should be considered when programming exercise for prostate cancer survivors.
本研究旨在了解加拿大前列腺癌幸存者的运动水平、偏好和兴趣。
通过一个前列腺癌特异性网站进行了电子调查,评估了自我报告的运动水平、运动偏好和兴趣、运动障碍和促进因素。
基于 103 名参与者,大多数(75.7%)前列腺癌幸存者尽管有运动兴趣,但仍未达到有氧和抗阻运动指南的要求。对阻力运动、散步、灵活性和骑自行车以及在社区健身房或家中进行运动的偏好最强。与达到运动指南要求的个体相比,不符合运动指南要求的个体在运动兴趣和促进因素方面存在显著差异。
大多数加拿大前列腺癌幸存者的活动量不足。运动偏好和促进因素似乎受到当前运动水平的影响。在为前列腺癌幸存者制定运动计划时,应考虑抗阻和有氧运动。
