Physical activity programming and counseling preferences among cancer survivors: a systematic review
TLDR
Cancer survivors have an interest in participating in PA programs with walking as the primary modality, and morning-based PA programs that can be tapered to home-based programs are desirable, however, there was wide variation in other PA preference variables, suggesting multiple program options would be beneficial.
Factors influencing physical activity participation among people living with or beyond cancer: a systematic scoping review
TLDR
Cancer-related side effects were a leading physiological barrier to PA participation, whereas effective symptom management techniques/tools acted as a powerful facilitator, and perceived health benefits and social support/guidance by healthcare providers were significant facilitators.

TLDR
Optimising targeted promotion of PA behaviour following treatment for cervical cancer may result in an enhanced survivorship experience through increased PA behaviour and improved quality of life (QOL).
Breast and Colon Cancer Survivors' Expectations About Physical Activity for Improving Survival.
TLDR
Findings from the current study suggest that, among breast and colon cancer survivors, outcome expectations related to cancer survival may influence physical activity levels and may not be as realized as traditional outcome expectations.

Physical activity preferences among a population-based sample of colorectal cancer survivors.
TLDR
The most common PA preferences of CRC survivors were to receive PA counseling from a fitness expert at a cancer center, receive PA information in the form of print materials, start a PA program after cancer treatment, do PA at home, and walk in both the summer and winter.
Physical activity preferences in a population-based sample of kidney cancer survivors
TLDR
The majority of KCS expressed an interest in doing a PA program and important preferences were identified, which may be used to inform PA interventions to enhance motivation and adherence in KCS.
Exercise Preferences of Endometrial Cancer Survivors: A Population-Based Study
TLDR
It is suggested that endometrial cancer survivors have unique exercise preferences that are moderated by a number of demographic and medical variables that may have implications for the design and implementation of clinical and population-based exercise interventions for endometrian cancer survivors.

TLDR

TLDR
Over half of kidney cancer survivors (KCS) are completely sedentary, however, even some PA may be beneficial for QoL; however, analyses of covariance indicated a dose–response association between PA and mostQoL outcomes from CS to within guidelines (WG) with no further improvements for exceeding guidelines.

Factors That Affect Decisions About Physical Activity and Exercise in Survivors of Breast Cancer: A Qualitative Study

Interest and preferences for exercise counselling and programming among Norwegian cancer survivors.
TLDR
Most cancer survivors were interested in an exercise programme, walking as activity, at moderate intensity and they wanted to start immediately after treatment, andLogistic regression analyses indicated that the interest in exercise counselling in men was associated with younger age, presence of comorbidity and having received chemotherapy.
Exercise preferences among a population-based sample of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors.
TLDR
Examining the exercise preferences of a population-based sample of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) survivors indicated that tailoring exercise programmes to the preferences of NHL survivors may be one method to potentially enhance exercise adherence in this population both inside and outside of clinical trials.
