BACKGROUND
This study examined current physical activity levels and preferences for exercise settings and activities among adult survivors of childhood cancers as a strategy to inform the feasibility and design of such programs.
METHODS
A mixed-methods design was used to investigate current activity levels as well as barriers to and preferences for physical activity among 20 adult survivors of pediatric cancer.
RESULTS
One-half of participants reported engaging in regular physical activity, although the frequency, intensity, and duration varied. Overall, 17 of the 20 participants (85%) stated they would be interested in participating in a structured exercise intervention, and they expressed a strong interest in walking (76%), bicycling (53%), and weight training (53%). Common barriers to participation in a potential structured exercise program were insufficient time, current health issues, and program location/distance. Nearly all participants agreed that information on nutrition and diet should be included as part of an exercise intervention.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings will help inform the design and implementation of future exercise programs to enhance physical activity among this high-risk group of cancer survivors.
背景
本研究旨在调查儿童癌症成年幸存者当前的身体活动水平和对运动环境及活动的偏好，以便为这类项目的可行性和设计提供信息。
方法
本研究采用混合方法设计，旨在调查 20 名儿科癌症成年幸存者的当前活动水平，以及他们进行身体活动的障碍和偏好。
结果
尽管频率、强度和持续时间各不相同，但一半的参与者报告他们经常进行身体活动。总的来说，20 名参与者中有 17 名（85%）表示他们有兴趣参加有组织的运动干预，他们对散步（76%）、骑自行车（53%）和举重（53%）特别感兴趣。参加潜在结构化运动项目的常见障碍包括时间不足、当前健康问题和项目地点/距离。几乎所有参与者都认为营养和饮食信息应作为运动干预的一部分。
结论
这些发现将有助于为未来的运动计划提供信息，以提高这一高风险癌症幸存者群体的身体活动水平。
