Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) not only reflects an individual's capacity to perform physical activities but also encapsulates broader effects on the basic biology of aging. This review aims to summarize the evidence on the influence of CRF on overall and site-specific cancer risks. It delves into the biological mechanisms through which CRF may ex...

Technological advancements and ease of Internet access have increased the number of digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of DBCIs in reducing sedentary behavior (SB) and promoting physical activity (PA) in adults with diabetes. A comprehensive search of seven datab...

This paper describes a conceptual framework of maintenance of physical activity (PA) and its application to future intervention design. Evidence from systematic literature reviews and in-depth (N = 27) qualitative interviews with individuals with cancer were used to develop a conceptual framework of long-term physical activity behaviour. Determinan...

Tai Chi Easy (TCE) is a low-impact, meditative movement practice that is feasible for breast cancer survivors, even in the face of post-treatment symptoms, and may even serve as a gateway into developing an active lifestyle and improving overall physical activity (PA). In the context of a randomized controlled trial testing effects of an 8-week TCE...

Interventions that use the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model show promise for increasing PA frequency, duration, and intensity. However, there is limited understanding of how HAPA model variables have been operationalized for PA interventions in chronic disease to promote behavior change and sustained PA or whether the phase or continuous...

African Americans with chronic conditions have reported the importance of spirituality in their lives. Aspects of spirituality have been shown to be related to physical activity (PA) and sleep, and PA and sleep affect quality of life (QOL). This study examined the association between spirituality, PA, and sleep in long-term African American breast ...

Diet and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivorship are less likely to be followed by populations of minority cancer survivors, such as Latina/Hispanic women, compared to non-Hispanic White women. It is important to understand psychosocial mechanisms that may increase adherence to healthy lifestyle habits, especially in populations at ris...

The prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is recognised as a health care priority in the UK. In people living with T2DM, lifestyle changes (e.g. increasing physical activity) have been shown to slow disease progression and protect from the development of associated comorbidities. The use of digital health technologies provides a strategy to increase...

Physical activity (PA) is fundamental to nursing home residents' health. Likewise, physical capacity (PC) is essential to carry out activities of daily living. Although PC and PA are associated, misalignment has been reported in specific subgroups. Increased PC is oftentimes not linked to high PA (i.e., Can do - don't do) and vice versa (i.e., Can'...
