Leisure Physical Activity

This study examines physical activity patterns among women, from pre-pregnancy to the second trimester of pregnancy, and the relationship between physical activity status based on physical activity guidelines and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and depression over pregnancy. 56 healthy pregnant women self-reported physical activity, HRQoL and depression at 10-15 and 19-24 weeks of pregnancy and physical activity before pregnancy. Whereas vigorous leisure physical activity decreased after conception, moderate leisure physical activity and work related physical activity remained stable over time. The prevalence of recommended physical activity was 39.3% and 12.5% in the 1st and 2nd trimesters of pregnancy respectively, and 14.3% pre-pregnancy. From the 1st to the 2nd pregnancy trimester, most physical HRQoL dimensions scores decreased and only mental component increased, independently of physical activity status. No changes in mean depression scores were observed. These data suggest that physical activity patterns change with pregnancy and that physical and mental components are differentially affected by pregnancy course, independently of physical activity status.

432 Background: Physical activity has been shown to significantly improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and survivorship in a variety of cancer patients. However, little is known about the physical activity patterns of bladder cancer survivors and how these are related to HRQOL in the United States. Our objective was to describe HRQOL and self-reported physical activity patterns and examine the association between these measures in a large cohort of bladder cancer survivors. Methods: Bladder cancer survivors identified through an institutional database were mailed a survey that included the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Bladder Cancer (FACT-Bl) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-L). Results: A total of 466 subjects (49% response rate) completed the survey. The mean age was 73 years, 80% were male, and 88% were White. Linear regression indicated a positive correlation between physical activity and physical well being (PWB, P < 0.001), emotional well being (EWB, P < 0.001), and functional well being (FWB, P < 0.001) subscales, as well as the FACT-Bl (P < 0.001), FACT general (P < 0.001), and trial outcome index (TOI, P < 0.001) composite scores. Conversely, total daily sitting time was negatively correlated with all of the aforementioned indices. Adjusting for demographic factors did not alter the findings. Conclusions: Physical activity is positively associated with HRQOL in bladder cancer survivors. Further studies investigating the causal relationship between physical activity and HRQOL in the post-treatment setting in bladder cancer survivors are warranted.
