47 | Kristina H Karvinen, Kerry S Courneya and Scott North | 2007 | Canada | To evaluate the relationship between exercise and QoL in BC survivors. | BC survivors (n=525). | Cohort/questionnaires sent to BC survivors. | A modified version of the Leisure Score Index from the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire. | 22.3% were meeting public health exercise recommendation; 16.0% were insufficiently active and 61.7% were completely sedentary. | QoL is positively influenced by exercise in BC survivors. |
36 | Chris M Blanchard and Kevin Stein | 2010 | Canada | To understand the associations among BMI, PA, and HRQoL in cancer survivors. | Cancer survivors (n=3306). Blader cancer (n=210). | Cohort/ questionnaires sent to cancer survivors. | Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire. | Obese cancer survivors were significantly less likely to meet the PA recommendations. This indicates an association between BMI and PA and HRQoL. | Understand the relationship between BMI and PA will help identify target groups for PA interventions |
48 | Koebnick C, Michaud D, Moore S C and Park Y | 2008 | USA | To clarify the association between BMI and PA. | Patients with BC (n=471 760). | Prospective cohort study. | Questionnaire. | No direct correlation was found between BC and PA. | The protective influence of PA on BC could occur through a mechanism involving reduction of body mass. |
32 | Michael A Liss, Martha White and Loki Natarajan | 2017 | USA | To understand the associations of BMI, PA and smoking with BC mortality. | Patients with BC (n=222 163). | Interview survey. | National Health Information Survey. | Exercise associated with reduced BC mortality. | BC mortality was lower in those patients who had the amount of exercise as per the guidelines as compared with no exercise. |
38 | Kristina H Karvinen and Kerry S Courneya | 2007 | Canada | To understand the exercise programmes and counselling preferences of patients with BC. | BC survivors (n=397). | Survey study. | Questionnaire. | 81.1% of participants interested in an exercise programme designed for BC survivors. | Results indicate that the most common preferences were for exercise counselling in a presential format. |
33 | Elke Rammant et al | 2018 | Belgium | To explore, for patients with BC, before and after cystectomy, the determinants of PA. | BC patients candidates for radical cystectomy (n=30). | Semistructured interviews. | PA motivational factors in patients with BC is multifactorial. | The development of theory-based behaviour change interventions to increase PA in patients with BC, should include multifactorial components. | |
49 | Marilyn L Kwan, Lawrence H Kushi and Kim N Danforth | 2019 | USA | The goal is to investigate diet and lifestyle factors in recurrence and progression of NMIBC. | NMIBC (n=1282). | Prospective cohort study. | Questionnaire. | NA | NA |
41 | Jensen Laustsen, Jensen, Borre, Petersen | 2016 | Denmark | To investigate the feasibility, the adherence and the efficacy of a short-term physical prehabilitation programme. | Patients with BC awaiting radical cystectomy (n=107). | RCT | Standardised exercise programme consisting of both muscle strength exercises and endurance training. | A total of 66% adhered more than 75% of the recommended progressive standardised exercise programme. | In patients awaiting RC, a short-term exercise-based prehabilitation intervention is feasible and effective. |
42 | Porserud A, Sherif A and Tollbäck A | 2014 | Sweden | Assessment of feasibility and effects of an exercise training programme. | Patients with BC after cystectomy with ileal conduit. | RCT | Exercise programme included group exercise training twice a week and daily walks. | The intervention group increased walking distance and the role physical domain in SF-36 more than the control group. | A 12-week group exercise training programme was not feasible for most cystectomy patients. Improvement in functional capacity and the role physical domain in HRQoL. |
39 | Minnella E M, Awasthi, Bousquet-Dion and Ferreira, Austin | 2019 | Canada | To investigate if a preoperative multimodal intervention is feasible and effective in radical cystectomy. | Patients with BC following radical cystectomy (n=70). | RCT | Preoperative conditioning intervention included aerobic and resistance exercise, diet therapy and relaxation techniques. | There is significant difference in functional capacity 4 weeks after surgery. | After radical cystectomy, multimodal prehabilitation resulted in faster functional recovery. |
43 | Connor Chestnuta, Woodson Smelsera, Travis Duma and Misty Bechtela | 2019 | USA | To evaluate the feasibility of a diet and exercise programme and its impact in patients with DM2 and NMIBC. | NMIBC and pre-diabetes or type II diabetes mellitus. | Prospective clinical trial. | Participants were given diet and exercise counselling. | Average fasting blood glucose demonstrated a 9.65% relative reduction. | Incorporating an exercise regimen in patients with diabetes mellitus and NMIBC is feasible. |
37 | Bente Thoft Jensen Jørgen Bjerggaard Jensen, Sussie Laustsen, annemette | 2014 | Denmark | To test if a standardised preoperative and postoperative physical exercise programme and enhanced mobilisation can impact on HRQoL and inpatient satisfaction in RC. | Patients with BC after radical cystectomy (n=107). | RCT | The intervention group received standard FT and an exercise-based intervention that involved both preoperative and postoperative exercises. | There was no difference in the global health score or in the scores of the five functional scales between treatment groups. | Preoperative and postoperative physical rehabilitation results on better HRQoL. |
