Impact of the Promoting Physical Activity in Regional and Remote Cancer Survivors intervention on health-related quality of life in breast and colorectal cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The PPARCS trial examined the efficacy of a distance-based wearable and health coaching intervention to increase physical activity (PA) in breast and colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors living in non-metropolitan areas. This paper examines the effects of the intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12 weeks (T2; end of intervention) and 24 weeks (T3; follow-up).

Methods

Participants that were insufficiently physically active and had successfully completed cancer treatment were randomised to an intervention or control group. PA was assessed using an ActiGraph (GT9X) at baseline, T2, and T3. Intervention effects on HRQoL were analysed using quantile regression comparing treatment groups across time.

Results

A total of 87 were randomised to inte
