摘要
Little is known about the physical activity (PA) of young adults (YAs) during cancer therapy. In this feasibility study, 14 YAs (20-34 years old) completed a six-minute walk test, recorded their steps per day for one week, and answered weekly self-reports about physical activity, fatigue, sleep-wake disturbances, and depression during one cycle of chemotherapy. Findings suggest YAs are willing to complete a PA study during chemotherapy and have variable sleep and activity schedules. Their symptoms varied in severity, with highest scores for fatigue. Studies to improve PA in YAs during chemotherapy are warranted to manage short-and long-term treatment effects.
