导言：随着儿童幸存者人数的持续增长，人们更加重视识别长期健康风险/保护行为。本初步研究的主要目的是检验一种基于理论的身体活动（PA）干预青少年癌症的可行性。方法：对16周以上的参与者进行PA干预。在1年的研究期间，以5个不同的时间间隔评估项目出勤率/依从性、总PA、身体健康和生活质量（QOL）。结果：在6周的时间里，11名青少年对招募工作做出了回应。其中10人最终注册并完成了为期一年的研究。总的来说，这个项目受到了很好的欢迎，在16周的干预期间，平均出席率为81.5%。虽然在整个干预过程中发现了总PA、身体健康和生活质量的改善，但随访数据显示，参与者在3个月和12个月的随访评估中都未能维持干预后的PA水平。结论：有癌症病史的青少年与健康的同龄人一样，无疑容易养成不良的健康习惯。创新的干预措施旨在提高他们对积极行为干预的依从性，如PA是必要的。尽管并非没有局限性，但本研究提供了支持大学赞助的PA干预的初步数据。
Introduction: As the number of pediatric survivors continues to grow, a greater emphasis is being placed on identifying long-term health risk/protecting behaviors. The primary purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of a theoretically-based physical activity (PA) intervention in adolescents with cancer.Methods: A group PA intervention was administered to participants over 16 weeks. Program attendance/adherence, total PA, physical fitness, and quality of life (QOL) were assessed at 5 different intervals over the 1-year study duration.Results: Over a period of 6 weeks, 11 adolescents responded to recruitment efforts. Ten ultimately enrolled and completed the 1-year study. Overall, the program was well received with attendance over the 16-week intervention averaging 81.5%. Although improvements in total PA, physical fitness, and QOL were noted across the intervention, follow-up data revealed that participants failed to maintain their postintervention PA levels at both the 3 and 12-month follow-up assessments.Conclusions: Adolescents with a history of cancer are undoubtedly susceptible to the same maladaptive health habits as are their healthy peers. Innovative interventions aimed at improving their adherence to positive behavioral interventions, such as PA are warranted. Although not without limitations, this study provides preliminary data in support of a university-sponsored PA intervention.
