    Abstract Observational studies may play an important role in evaluating physical activity (PA) as a cancer treatment; however, few studies have been designed, analyzed, or interpreted from a clinical oncology perspective. The purpose of the present paper is to apply the Exercise as Cancer Treatment (EXACT) Framework to assess current observational studies of PA and cancer outcomes from a clinical oncology perspective and provide recommendations to improve their clinical utility. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of over 130 observational studies have concluded that higher prediagnosis and postdiagnosis PA are associated with lower risks of cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Most of these studies, however, have: (a) included cancer patients receiving heterogeneous treatment protocols, (b) provided minimal details about those cancer treatments, (c) assessed PA prediagnosis and/or postdiagnosis without reference to those cancer treatments, (d) reported mainly mortality outcomes, and (e) examined subgroups based on demographic and disease variables but not cancer treatments. As a result, current observational studies on PA and cancer outcomes have played a modest role in informing clinical exercise trials and clinical oncology practice. To improve their clinical utility, we recommend that future observational studies of PA and cancer outcomes: (a) recruit cancer patients receiving the same or similar first-line treatment protocols, (b) collect detailed data on all planned and unplanned cancer treatments beyond whether or not cancer treatments were received, (c) assess PA in relation to cancer treatments (i.e., before, during, between, after) rather than in relation to the cancer diagnosis (i.e., various time periods before and after diagnosis), (d) collect data on cancer-specific outcomes (e.g., disease response, progression, recurrence) in addition to mortality, (e) conduct subgroup analyses based on cancer treatments received in addition to demographic and disease variables, and (f) interpret mechanisms for any associations between PA and cancer-specific outcomes based on the clinical oncology scenario that is recapitulated rather than referencing generic mechanisms or discordant preclinical models. In conclusion, observational studies are well-suited to contribute important knowledge regarding the role of PA as a cancer treatment; however, modifications to study design and analysis are necessary if they are to inform clinical research and practice.

    Abstract This scoping review aims to synthesize the current landscape of physical activity in cancer prehabilitation and identify knowledge gaps. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE for exercise interventions and observational studies that measured exercise or physical activity before cancer treatment from inception to January 20, 2023. Fifty-one articles from 44 unique studies were reviewed, including 32 intervention and 12 observational studies. Surgery is the only treatment modality that has been investigated. Included studies used heterogeneous exercise interventions and measures for physical activity. Colorectal and other gastrointestinal, lung, and urologic cancers are the most studied cancer types. Exercise intervention in cancer prehabilitation is highly feasible. The evidence for improved fitness, functional, psychosocial, and clinical outcomes is promising yet limited. Although research has increased recently, prehabilitation exercise remains a relatively under-investigated area in oncology. We have provided research directions towards an ideal cancer prehabilitation design in the real-world setting.

    Abstract Preventive interventions targeting tobacco, alcohol, healthy diets and physical activity are key strategies to tackle the most pressing health challenges in modern society. A major gap remains in how to translate research evidence into population-level behaviour change to reduce the disease burden. We use the case for the role of physical activity-related behaviour and cancer to illustrate the iterative, multidirectional, and transdisciplinary nature of translational research. The issues we address in this context are generalizable and applicable to other behavioral risk factors and non-communicable diseases. There is now solid evidence that physical activity reduces cancer risk and improves outcomes after cancer diagnosis. Here we provide a framework for how to implement this knowledge into real-world settings. We provide the rationale for combining systems, causal and design thinking to develop interventions that can be implemented for this type of behaviour change. The proposed model is iterative, multidirectional and transdisciplinary. We identify major knowledge gaps in epidemiology and science of behaviour change on physical activity and cancer control and propose approaches to suggest priorities for future research.

    Abstract Importance: Sedentary behaviors, particularly prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity, may influence survival after cancer.
    Objective: To examine the independent and joint associations of daily sitting time and leisure-time physical activity with mortality outcomes among cancer survivors.
    Design, setting, and participants: A prospective cohort of a nationally representative sample of cancer survivors, age 40 years or older (n = 1535; weighted population, 14 002 666), from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2014. Participants were linked to mortality data from their interview and physical examination date through December 31, 2015. Daily sitting time and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) were self-reported using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data analyses were performed from January 1 to May 1, 2021.
    Main outcomes and measures: All-cause, cancer-specific, and noncancer mortality.
    Results: Among 1535 cancer survivors (mean [SE] age, 65.1 [0.4] years; 828 [60.1%] females; 945 [83.1%] non-Hispanic White individuals), 950 (56.8%) reported LTPA of 0 minutes per week (min/wk) during the previous week (inactive); 226 (15.6%) reported LTPA of less than 150 min/wk (insufficiently active); 359 (27.6%) reported LTPA of 150 min/wk or more (active); 553 (35.4%) reported sitting for 6 to 8 hours per day (h/d); and 328 (24.9%) reported sitting for more than 8 h/d. Of note, 574 (35.8%) cancer survivors reported no LTPA with concurrent sitting of more than 6 h/d. During the follow-up period of up to 9 years (median, 4.5 years; 6980 person-years), there were 293 deaths (cancer, 114; heart diseases, 41; other causes, 138). Multivariable models showed that being physically active was associated with lower risks of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 0.34; 95% CI, 0.20-0.60) and cancer-specific (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.15-0.70) mortality compared with inactivity. Sitting more than 8 h/d was associated with higher risks of all-cause (HR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.05-3.14) and cancer-specific (HR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.08-4.79) mortality compared with those sitting less than 4 h/d. In the joint analyses, prolonged sitting was associated with an increased risk of death among cancer survivors who were not sufficiently active. Specifically, inactive and insufficiently active survivors reported sitting more than 8 h/d had the highest overall (HR, 5.38; 95% CI, 2.99-9.67) and cancer-specific (HR, 4.71; 95% CI, 1.60-13.9) mortality risks.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study of a nationally representative sample of US cancer survivors, the combination of prolonged sitting with lack of physical activity was highly prevalent and was associated with the highest risks of death from all causes and cancer.

    Abstract The neighbourhood built environment can support the physical activity of adults regardless of their individual-level socioeconomic status. However, physical activity supportive (walkable) neighbourhoods may not be accessible to those with lower incomes if homes in walkable neighbourhoods are too expensive. The objectives of this study were: 1) to estimate the associations between neighbourhood walkability and home values in Canadian cities, and 2) to test whether these associations differ by city size and residential property type composition within neighbourhoods. We linked built environment data from the 2016 Canadian Active Living Environments (Can-ALE) index with neighbourhood-level structural home characteristics and sociodemographic data from the 2016 Canadian census for 33,026 neighbourhoods across 31 Census Metropolitan Areas. We used multilevel linear regression models to estimate covariate-adjusted associations between neighbourhood walkability and natural-log median home values and tested city size and neighbourhood property type composition as moderators. There were no statistically significant associations between walkability and home values overall. The associations between neighbourhood walkability and home values were jointly moderated by city size and property type composition. For small and medium sized cities, within neighbourhoods containing a high proportion of detached homes, walkability was negatively associated with home values (b = -0.05, 95% CI: -0.10, -0.01; and, b = -0.04, 95% CI: -0.06, -0.02, for small and medium cities, respectively). However, for extra-large cities, within neighbourhoods containing a high proportion of detached homes, walkability was positively associated with home values (b = 0.06, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.10). Our findings suggest that, based on housing affordability, higher walkable neighbourhoods are likely accessible to lower income households that are situated in small and medium Canadian cities. In larger cities, however, municipal interventions (e.g., inclusionary zoning or targeted development of subsidized or social housing) may be needed to ensure equitable access to walkable neighbourhoods for lower income households.

    Abstract Background: Physical activity, sufficient sleep, and limiting sedentary time may improve cancer survivorship.
    Methods: Utilizing US nationally representative samples from the National Health Interview Survey 1997-2018 and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018, this study investigated the trends of meeting physical activity guidelines, insufficient sleep duration, and sitting time in US cancer survivors (n = 58 527) and noncancer adults (n = 640 109).
    Results: From 1997 to 2018, the prevalence of meeting physical activity guidelines was consistently lower in cancer survivors than in noncancer adults. Among cancer survivors, the prevalence of meeting physical activity guidelines increased from 34.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 33.1% to 36.8%) to 46.5% (95% CI = 45.0% to 48.1%) for aerobic (≥150 minutes per week at moderate intensity or 75 minutes per week at vigorous intensity), from 13.9% (95% CI = 12.8% to 15.1%) to 23.1% (95% CI = 21.8% to 24.4%) for muscle strengthening (≥2 days per week) activities, and from 9.5% (95% CI = 8.4% to 10.7%) to 17.9% (95% CI = 16.7% to 19.1%) for both combined (all Ptrend < .001). From 2004 to 2018, the prevalence of insufficient sleep duration (<7 hours per day) increased from 28.4% (95% CI = 26.3% to 30.5%) to 30.8% (95% CI = 29.3% to 32.2%) (Ptrend = .004). Daily sitting time increased from 6.09 hours per day (95% CI = 5.71 to 6.46 hours per day) in 2007-2008 to 7.36 hours per day (95% CI = 7.05 to 7.68 hours per day) in 2013-2014 and attenuated to 6.20 hours per day (95% CI = 5.74 to 6.65 hours per day) in 2017-2018. The pattern of physical activity, sleep, and sitting time varied by sex, race and ethnicity, body mass index, cancer type, and time since cancer diagnosis.
    Conclusions: More than half of US cancer survivors did not meet physical activity guidelines, and a large proportion had insufficient sleep duration and prolonged sitting time.
