Overview
This is an investigation of possible relationships between daily physical activity (PA) and different measurements of fatigue in cancer survivors participating in a cancer exercise program.
Detailed description
This is an investigation of possible relationships between daily physical activity (PA) and different measurements of fatigue in cancer survivors participating in a cancer exercise program. Results will inform exercise prescription and timing to best reduce fatigue, as well as methodology for measuring fatigue. Participants will answer several daily questions on fatigue using a smartphone application during the 3 month exercise program and wear a PA monitor for 10 days during the first month and last month of the program.
Primary outcome measures
- 10-point Fatigue Scale, Day [Time frame: 3 months]
- Physical Activity measure by Actigraph device [Time frame: 3 months]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Physical assessment measures from BfitBwell Program [Time frame: 3 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Be an active participant in the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program
- Criteria for this program include:
- Adult (>= 18 years old)
- Being a patient seen at the University of Colorado Cancer Center
- Currently receiving cancer therapy or be within 6 months of completing cancer therapy
- Have a signed physician clearance form to participate in an exercise program
- Have a smartphone (necessary for the EMA assessments)
- A score of 48 or less on the FACIT-Fatigue (completed during the initial BfitBwell Program assessment)
- The minimally important difference of the FACIT-Fatigue is 3 points, suggesting that a score of at most 48 indicates the presence of CRF and allows for meaningful change in both directions.
