Improving Physical Activity Maintenance of Cancer Survivors

October 16, 2023 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver

Improving Physical Activity Maintenance Following an Exercise Program for Cancer Survivors

Participants enrolled in the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center will be randomized 1:1 to receive the current BfitBwell program, or BfitBwell plus six, group-based behavior change counseling sessions adapted from BEAT Cancer. We will stratify the randomization based on sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: BfitBwell program
BfitBwell is a 3-month supervised exercise program for cancer survivors delivered at the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. This program has demonstrated effectiveness for improving physical fitness, fatigue, and depression among participants
Behavioral: BfitBwell program
Well known behavior change strategies such as goal setting, and identifying barriers to PA can improve long term adherence to PA, and have been shown to enhance PA maintenance after completion of a supervised intervention among cancer survivors
Active Comparator: BfitBwell + 6, bi-weekly PA Behavior Change counseling session
Participants randomized to BfitBwell + PA behavior change counseling sessions will receive six, 1-1.5 hour sessions lead by a Certified Exercise Physiologist, trained on the study protocol. Sessions will be held once per week, every other week at the Anschutz Health and Wellness center. Participants will attend the sessions in groups, as schedules allow. Behavior change discussion topics will target self-efficacy for exercise, barriers to exercise, goal setting, behavior modification strategies, time management, cognitive reframing, and relapse prevention. Participants in this study arm will receive a group education workbook in congruence to discussion session topics to promote notetaking, and self-reflective journaling.
Behavioral: BfitBwell program
Well known behavior change strategies such as goal setting, and identifying barriers to PA can improve long term adherence to PA, and have been shown to enhance PA maintenance after completion of a supervised intervention among cancer survivors
Behavioral: 6 bi-weekly PA Behavior Change counseling sessions
Well known behavior change strategies such as goal setting, and identifying barriers to PA can improve long term adherence to PA, and have been shown to enhance PA maintenance after completion of a supervised intervention among cancer survivors
