A Scoping Review of Physical Activity and Exercise Initiatives for Cancer Patients in Ireland
In 2022, the survivorship team in the NCCP commissioned external researchers to undertake a scoping review of physical activity and exercise services available for cancer patients related to the cancer continuum (secondary prevention, prehabilitation, during treatment, rehabilitation and for those living with and beyond cancer).
The work elements included:
- Describing the physical activity and exercise services available in Ireland
- Identifying actions to expand physical activity services for cancer patients in Ireland
- Proposing national recommendations
We are delighted to present the report of this scoping review, the outcomes of which will help the NCCP and stakeholder partners to strategically develop actions for progressing recommendations to promote and provide physical activity opportunities to cancer patients in Ireland.
