Summary
This review clarifies definitions and supportive elements for home-based exercise interventions. It offers recommendations to improve the prescription and reporting of these crucial cancer care models.
Area of Science:
- Exercise Science
- Oncology
- Rehabilitation
Background:
- Home-based exercise interventions show significant heterogeneity in definitions and delivery.
- Variability in defining "home-based" challenges interpretation and advocacy of these care models.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively summarize definitions of home-based exercise in literature.
- To outline the range of supportive elements used in home-based exercise trials.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review methodology was employed.
- Searches were conducted across relevant research databases from inception to March 2019.
- Two reviewers independently screened articles and extracted data on exercise definitions and intervention delivery.
Main Results:
- 229 articles met inclusion criteria from 9432 identified records.
- Home-based exercise was defined broadly, including at-home, neighborhood, community facilities, self-selected environments, or unsupervised settings.
- Supportive elements varied, encompassing print materials, equipment, telephone support, home visits, and technology.
Conclusions:
- The review synthesizes strategies and definitions for home-based exercise interventions in oncology.
- Recommendations are provided to enhance prescription and reporting of home-based exercise.
- These recommendations aim to facilitate delivery, evaluation, and clinical translation of findings.

01:27Exercise and Muscle Performance
2.2K
Exercise induces a range of adaptations in muscle tissue, depending on the type and duration of activity. Such physical training can be broadly categorized into two types: endurance exercises and resistance exercises.
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

791
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

01:28Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches
188
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...
