Abstract

BACKGROUND: Given the benefits of physical activity for health and survival, clinicians are seeking opportunities for cancer patients to become more active independent of rehabilitation programs that are small, time-limited, and location specific. This proof-of-concept study evaluated a community-based physical activity program (Curves™) for increasing physical activity among women diagnosed and treated for breast cancer.

METHODS: Women were recruited from a breast cancer clinic through physician chart review. In study 1, women (n?=?14) received the community physical activity memberships (Curves™), guidelines, and a pedometer. This group was compared to women (n?=?16) who received physical activity guidelines and a pedometer on changes in physical activity. In study 2, women (n?=?66) completed self-report questionnaires after Curves™ memberships expired to evaluate the program. Study 3 was a qualitative study exploring the benefits and barriers of the physical activity program among women (n?=?6) who attended Curves™ regularly.

RESULTS: Provision of memberships to a community-based physical activity program did not improve physical activity levels beyond educational and information resources. However, there are a number of advantages to community-based physical activity programs, and the women offer a number of suggestions for improvements for community physical activity opportunities aimed at breast cancer survivors.

CONCLUSIONS: Women-only community-based physical activity programs may be a viable option to help introduce women to get active after treatment. Trial registration ISRCTN, ISRCTN14747810. Registered on 18 October 2017-Retrospectively registered, https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN14747810.
