Résumé

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and correlates of meeting the public health strength exercise guidelines (≥2 days/week) in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. Methods: A random sample of 600 CRC survivors in Alberta, Canada, completed a mailed questionnaire assessing medical, demographic, and behavioral variables and participation in strength exercise. Results: About a quarter (25.5%) of CRC survivors were meeting strength exercise guidelines. In multivariate analysis, meeting guidelines was associated with being male (p =.052), married (p =.079), a drinker (p =.006), in better health (p <.001), nonsmoking (p =.023), and nonobese (p =.010). Conclusions: Interventions to increase strength exercise participation in CRC survivors are needed.
