Cancer survivors participating in supervised exercise programs learn to exercise safely with oversight from care providers who monitor and facilitate their progress. This study investigated the long-term exercise participation levels and identified exercise barriers for graduates from a specialized cancer exercise and education program. Subjects were graduates from a 12-week supervised exercise...

BACKGROUND Physical exercise affects many risk factors and diseases and therefore can play a vital role in general disease prevention and treatment of elderly individuals and may reduce costs. We sought to determine whether a single exercise program affects fracture risk (bone mineral density [BMD] and falls), coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors, and health care costs in community-dwellin...

BACKGROUND Family support can help older adults better adhere to exercise routine, but it remains unclear whether an exercise program targeting older married couples would have stronger effects on exercise adherence than would a program for individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an exercise program on the exercise adherence of older married couples over a 24-week...

conclusions these findings suggest that apelin does not play any significant role in regulating the pain threshold in type 1 diabetes mellitus during exercise training. results plasma apelin level was higher (0.3 vs. 0.1, p < 0.0001) and the tail-flick latency was lower (2.2 vs. 3.8, p < 0.0001) in the d group than in the nd group. after the training program, plasma apelin levels decreased in t...

BACKGROUND International recommendations suggest exercise and self-management programs, including non-pharmacological treatments, for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) because they can benefit pain relief and improve function and exercise adherence. The implementation of a combined self-management and exercise program termed PLE(2)NO may be a good method for controlling KOA symptoms because it encourag...

PURPOSE Exercise is beneficial to quality of life after cancer treatment, yet few cancer survivors meet exercise guidelines. Our study sought to determine the feasibility of an oncology rehabilitation exercise program embedded within a cardiac rehabilitation program. METHODS Patients who rated their fatigue >4/10 after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer were screened for el...
