Purpose
This study investigated: (1) physical activity behaviour of cancer survivors throughout the day, (2) the relationship between objective and subjective measures of physical activity, and (3) the relationship between daily physical activity and fatigue. Method Physical activity was measured objectively using 3D-accelerometry (expressed in counts per minute (cpm)), and subjectively using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS; 010) implemented on a smartphone in 18 cancer survivors (6 male; age 55.7 ± 10.2 yrs; free from cancer, last treatment ≥three months previously), and matched controls. Fatigue was scored thrice daily on a smartphone (0-10 VAS). Results Mean daily physical activity of cancer survivors did not deviate from controls (1108 ± 287 cpm versus 1223 ± 371 cpm, p = .305). However, in cancer survivors physical activity significantly decreased from morning to evening (p Conclusions This study demonstrated imbalanced activity patterns in cancer survivors. Also, the more a survivor felt fatigued, the greater the decline in activity behaviour throughout the day. The low correlation between objective and subjective physical activity suggests low awareness in cancer survivors about their daily physical activity performed. Ambulatory monitoring provides new insights in both patterns of physical activity and fatigue, which might be a valuable tool to provide activity management more efficiently during treatment of fatigue |
