DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Available evidence indicates that cancer survivors have low levels of physical activity. This increases their risk for a number of chronic illnesses for which, as cancer survivors, they may already be at heightened risk. Additionally, inactivity may adversely impact cancer survivors' health-related quality of life. Lung cancer survivors are especially likely to have low levels of physical activity, given their older age, frequent comorbid conditions, and common experience of disease- and treatment-related effects. No previous research has examined the physical activity levels of lung cancer survivors, who comprise 4% of all cancer survivors in the United States. We address this important knowledge gap in the proposed study. Some previous research has begun to examine the factors associated with cancer survivors' physical activity levels. There are limitations of this research, which we address in the proposed study of lung cancer survivors by examining a comprehensive set of physical activity covariates drawn from social cognitive theory, previous empirical findings, and a consideration of the characteristics of lung cancer survivors. The specific aims of the proposed study are: (1) To establish the physical activity levels of lung cancer survivors; and (2) To identify covariates of physical activity among lung cancer survivors. In the proposed cross-sectional study, 200 lung cancer survivors will complete a telephone interview regarding their physical activity levels and covariates of physical activity. Additionally, accelerometer-based objective physical activity data will be obtained from 30 of the 200 participants. The proposed study will provide a much-needed knowledge base for the design of future interventions to increase lung cancer survivors' physical activity levels. The study results will also shed light on subgroups of lung cancer survivors for whom such interventions may be most needed. Additionally, the results of the proposed study will enhance current knowledge of lung cancer survivorship, which is underrepresented within the burgeoning survivorship literature.

描述（由申请人提供）：可用证据表明癌症幸存者的体育锻炼水平较低。这增加了他们患多种慢性疾病的风险，作为癌症幸存者，他们的风险可能已经增加。此外，不活动可能会对癌症幸存者与健康相关的生活质量产生不利影响。鉴于年龄较大，合并症的频繁以及与疾病和治疗相关的效应的常见经验，肺癌幸存者的体育锻炼水平尤其较低。以前没有研究检查肺癌幸存者的体育活动水平，肺癌幸存者占美国所有癌症幸存者的4％。我们在拟议的研究中解决了这个重要的知识差距。先前的一些研究已经开始研究与癌症幸存者的体育活动水平相关的因素。这项研究存在局限性，我们在拟议的对肺癌幸存者的研究中解决了这项研究，通过研究从社会认知理论，以前的经验发现以及对肺癌幸存者特征的考虑方面进行的一组全面的体育活动协变量。拟议研究的具体目的是：（1）建立肺癌幸存者的体育活动水平； （2）确定肺癌幸存者中体育活动的协变量。在拟议的横断面研究中，200个肺癌幸存者将完成有关其体育活动水平和体育活动协变量的电话采访。此外，将基于加速度计的客观体育活动数据从200名参与者中的30个获得。拟议的研究将为未来干预措施的设计提供急需的知识库，以提高肺癌幸存者的身体活动水平。该研究结果还将阐明可能最需要进行这种干预措施的肺癌幸存者的亚组。此外，拟议研究的结果将增强当前对肺癌生存的知识，肺癌生存的知识在新兴的生存文献中的代表性不足。
