Exploring Physical Activity Levels, Barriers, and Education Sources in People with Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy
Few participants met PA recommendations during chemotherapy, with many reporting insufficient PA education and significant barriers. These findings highlight critical gaps in patient care and education. Addressing these through integrated, evidence-based PA programs and policy changes could enhance patient health, improve outcomes, and reduce disparities in supportive cancer care.
