Abstract Objectives This study aims to evaluate the adherence to a dietary, physical activity, and body weight intervention using the principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in female breast cancer survivors who participated in a trial for 4 months. Methods Premenopausal and postmenopausal female cancer survivors (n = 47) were randomized to the intervention group (IG, n = 22) that received the MI strategy, or the comparison group (CG, n = 25) that received nutritional counseling. Adherence to the program was evaluated based on compliance with dietary and physical activity goals, changes in body weight and changes in serum levels of α-carotene and β-carotene. We applied two non-consecutive 24-hour recalls to estimate dietary intake, and used a pedometer to measure number of steps. Blood samples were taken at time 0 (basal) and at 4 months of the study, and the serum concentrations of α-carotene and β-carotene were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results Among participants in the IG, percentages of compliance with goals for fruit and vegetable intakes were 93% and 90% respectively. The consumption of red, green and yellow vegetables increased (135.3 to 148.6 g/day, 192.1 to 227.7 g/day and 49.1 to 58.9 g/day, respectively) in the IG. There were no differences in fiber or total sugar intakes between groups. Women in the IG significantly increased their serum β-carotene levels (median 10.7 to 21.2 μg/dL) compared to the CG (median 13.1 to 19.9 μg/dL) (P < 0.05). The number of steps increased in the IG compared to the CG (1865 vs. 189, P < 0.05), although participants in the two groups continued to be classified as sedentary (physical activity level <1 at 0 and 4 months). Women in the IG lost 1.75 kg of body weight compared to 0.70 kg in the CG (P = 0.08). Conclusions Findings indicate that adherence to the recommendation on fruit and vegetable intakes is relatively high and that adherence to the recommendation on fiber intake, sugar intake, body weight and physical activity should be promoted. The MI strategy is promising to motivate changes in lifestyle changes.

Personal Feedback

Background: To prevent and fight the increase of daily sedentary time and to promote and stimulate the positive effects of physical activity and exercise on health, both traditional interventions and new strategies are important for breast cancer survivors (BCS). The research goal was to compare the effects of weekly personal feedback, based on objectively measured physical activity, on the trends of both daily sedentary time and on the physical activity of BCS (E− group) with those of an intervention also including online supervised physical exercise sessions (E+ group), during the Italy COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: The Italian COVID-19 emergency allowed the possibility to also observe the effects of social and personal limitations. A total of 51 BCS were studied over an 18-week period and had an objective registration of day-to-day sedentary time, physical activity, and sleep. Both subsamples received weekly or fortnight personal feedback. Data were analysed considering four key periods, according to the COVID-19 emergency steps. Results: Statistical analysis showed an additive effect for sedentary time and a multiplicative effect both for light-to vigorous and light-intensity physical activities. The E− group had a high overall sedentary time and a different trend of light-to vigorous and light-intensity physical activities, with a reduction from the 1st to the 2nd periods (national and personal restrictions), showing a significant rise just at the end of the national restrictions. Conclusions: The use of an activity tracker and its accompanying app, with the reception of weekly tailored advice and supervised online physical exercise sessions, can elicit proper physical activity recomposition in BCS in the COVID-19 era.

Abstract Purpose The Trials within Cohorts (TwiCs) design aims to overcome problems faced in conventional RCTs. We evaluated the TwiCs design when estimating the effect of exercise on quality of life (QoL) and fatigue in inactive breast cancer survivors. Methods UMBRELLA Fit was conducted within the prospective UMBRELLA breast cancer cohort. Patients provided consent for future randomization at cohort entry. We randomized inactive patients 12–18 months after cohort enrollment. The intervention group (n = 130) was offered a 12-week supervised exercise intervention. The control group (n = 130) was not informed and received usual care. Six-month exercise effects on QoL and fatigue as measured in the cohort were analyzed with intention-to-treat (ITT), instrumental variable (IV), and propensity scores (PS) analyses. Results Fifty-two percent (n = 68) of inactive patients accepted the intervention. Physical activity increased in patients in the intervention group, but not in the control group. We found no benefit of exercise for dimensions of QoL (ITT difference global QoL: 0.8, 95% CI = − 2.2; 3.8) and fatigue, except for a small beneficial effect on physical fatigue (ITT difference: − 1.1, 95% CI = − 1.8; − 0.3; IV: − 1.9, 95% CI = − 3.3; − 0.5, PS: − 1.2, 95% CI = − 2.3; − 0.2). Conclusion TwiCs gave insight into exercise intervention acceptance: about half of inactive breast cancer survivors accepted the offer and increased physical activity levels. The offer resulted in no improvement on QoL, and a small beneficial effect on physical fatigue.
