Brief Summary

In cancer setting, physical exercise has emerged as an important factor to control cancer-related symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. In addition, the correlation between physical activity and survival is recently consolidating. Nevertheless, several previous studies have shown that the majority of cancer patients are insufficiently active. Written information, for example a guidebook, may be a good oppurtunity, to improve lifestyle. Developing and testing an exercise guidebook, based on Theory of Planned Behavior and specifically designed for cancer patients, may be an effective tool to deliver information and increase physical activity level in this population.

Conditions

Mixed Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Physical activity level - using Godin's Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ)

  Change from baseline physical activity level at 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• quality of life - using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire" (EORTC QLQ C-30)

  Change from baseline physical activity level at 4 weeks

• Sedentary behavior - using Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ)

  Change from baseline physical activity level at 4 weeks
