REVIEW

Predicting exercise adherence in cancer patients and survivors:

a systematic review and meta-analysis of motivational and

behavioural factors

Anne M Lunde Husebø, Sindre M Dyrstad, Jon A Søreide and Edvin Bru

Aims and objectives. To examine research findings regarding predictors of adherence to exercise programmes in cancer

populations.

Background. Cancer patients are advised to participate in daily exercise. Whether they comply with the recommendations

for physical activity or not remains unclear.

Design. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods. Empirical articles published in English between 1995 and 2011 were searched in electronic databases and

in reference lists, using the search terms ‘adherence’, ‘predictors’, ‘exercise’, and ‘cancer’ in varying combinations.

Twelve of 541 screened abstracts met the inclusion criteria. The included studies’ eligibility considering predictors of

exercise adherence were reviewed. A quality assessment process evaluating the studies methodological quality was per-

formed. Eight of the reviewed studies were considered eligible for a meta-analysis involving Pearson’s r correlations.

Results. Exercise stage of change, derived from the transtheoretical model of behaviour change (TTM) was found to be sta-

tistically significant and a strong predictor of exercise adherence. In addition, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) con-

struct; intention to engage in a health-changing behaviour and perceived behavioural control, demonstrated significant

correlations with exercise adherence.

Conclusions. The review identified that both the TPB and the TTM frameworks include aspects that predicts exercise adher-

ence in cancer patients, and thus contributes to the understanding of motivational factors of change in exercise behaviour in

cancer populations. However, the strengths of predictions were relatively weak. M
