Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise oncology is a growing field, with a wealth of research demonstrating the importance of regular physical activity for a healthy survivorship trajectory. Despite the strong evidence base for exercise in cancer, physical activity promotion within cancer care settings and the scale-up of exercise interventions is limited. The purpose of this Special Issue is to (i) facilitate our understanding of the barriers to physical activity promotion in cancer care; (ii) identify solutions for the implementation of physical activity promotion to those living with and beyond cancer; and (iii) provide examples of effective implementation of exercise interventions in routine cancer care.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Cancers concerning the implementation of physical activity in cancer care with a focus on the translation of research evidence into practice, consistent with the ethos of the journal.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: research concerning the barriers to exercise promotion, support needs of health professionals working in cancer care and the implementation of physical activity interventions in real-world settings.
Dr. Sarah Hardcastle
