Homeostatic Model

Background: For breast cancer survivors, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is associated with improved survival. Less is known about the interrelationships of daytime activities (sedentary behavior [SB], light-intensity physical activity, and MVPA) and associations with survivors’ health outcomes. This study will use isotemporal substitution to explore reallocations of time spent in daytime activities and associations with cancer recurrence biomarkers. Methods: Breast cancer survivors (N = 333; mean age 63 y) wore accelerometers and provided fasting blood samples. Linear regression models estimated the associations between daytime activities and cancer recurrence biomarkers. Isotemporal substitution models estimated cross-sectional associations with biomarkers when time was reallocated from of one activity to another. Models were adjusted for wear time, demographics, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions. Results: MVPA was significantly associated with lower insulin, C-reactive protein, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, and glucose, and higher sex hormone-binding globulin (all P < .05). Light-intensity physical activity and SB were associated with insulin and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (both P < .05). Reallocating 18 minutes of SB to MVPA resulted in significant beneficial associations with insulin (−9.3%), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (−10.8%), glucose (−1.7%), and sex hormone-binding globulin (7.7%). There were no significant associations when 79 minutes of SB were shifted to light-intensity physical activity. Conclusions: Results illuminate the possible benefits for breast cancer survivors of replacing time spent in SB with MVPA.

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.

Low Levels

Background As many as 90% of breast cancer survivors report low levels of physical activity and spend approximately 70% of the day sedentary. This lack of physical activity engagement suggests an apparent knowledge-to-action gap, where survivors may not be receiving information about health benefits of physical activity and health consequences of sedentary behaviour in the context of their cancer. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate cancer centers for physical activity and sedentary behavior information and infrastructure. A secondary aim was to evaluate the information that is accessible to breast cancer survivors in cancer clinics. It was hypothesized that few centres would provide opportunities for physical activity and few materials would be collected of high quality.MethodsA built-environment scan of the 14 regional cancer centres in Ontario and an evaluation of the physical activity textual materials available at the cancer centres were completed. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, proportions, and inter-rater reliability. ResultsThe infrastructure of the cancer centres provided few opportunities for dissemination of information related to physical activity through signs and printed notices. Televisions were in all waiting rooms, which may provide a unique opportunity for physical activity and sedentary behavior information dissemination. Textual materials gathered were rated as trustworthy, used some behaviour change techniques (e.g., information about consequences of lack of physical activity, barrier identification, and set graded tasks) and were aesthetically pleasing.ConclusionsThese findings provide insight into environmental characteristics that can be used to modify the current environment to encourage physical activity.
