Purpose A cancer diagnosis is commonly associated with a decline in patient’s life satisfaction and more pessimistic expectations about the future. The identification of strategies to improve life satisfaction in patients with cancer is of great interest to health practitioners since it may be associated with a better prognosis of cancer and higher survival rates. Previous meta-analyses and reviews concluded that exercise could significantly improve health-related quality of life in this population, but the effects of exercise on life satisfaction are still not well-known. This review aims to analyse the effects of exercise programs on life satisfaction in people with cancer and individuals who have overcome cancer. Methods The present systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A thorough search of databases including Web of Science and PubMed/MEDLINE was carried out. Six studies (535 participants) in which the effect of an exercise program was compared to a non-exercise program control condition in patients with cancer were considered eligible. A subsequent meta-analysis was performed using the random effects model to calculate the standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Exercise intervention improved satisfaction with life compared with a control condition (SMD = 1.28; p = 0.02 with a 95% CI of 0.22 to 2.34). Conclusion Exercise could be considered an effective tool to improve life satisfaction in patients with cancer. Hence, professionals might consider the possibility of integrating physical exercise into strategies aimed at enhancing the low life satisfaction often experienced by patients
Percepción del paciente y ejecución real de la marcha como ejercicio físico: una mirada a la autoeficacia como variable clave en la adherencia en pacientes con fibromialgia

Adherence to physical exercise is especially low in patients with fibromyalgia, and there is a tendency to overestimate its performance. This study explores the relationship between perceived and actual walking behavior in patients with fibromyalgia, including self-efficacy as a mediating variable. A prospective study with two time points (with one week between them) was carried out on 132 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Self-efficacy towards exercise was assessed at the first time point, and perceived intensity of physical activity and “objective” walking amount (accelerometer) in relation to the previous week were assessed at the second point. Physical and emotional symptoms and the consumption of drugs were also evaluated as covariates. The results show that perception of vigorous-intensity exercise was related to walking (accelerometer) (effort greater than 6 METs). This relationship was explained by the mediating effect of self-efficacy and was not interfered with either by the symptoms or by the consumption of drugs. High self-efficacy regarding physical exercise was directly related to walking behavior despite patients’ interpretation of this activity as a vigorous physical exercise. In intervention and rehabilitation programs, it would be interesting to take into account and promote the self-efficacy of patients in relation to physical exercise in order to maintain adherence to walking.
