Summary

Various recent scientific data testify to the cognitive deficiencies of cancer patients, called Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairments (CRCI) (Noal, Daireaux \& Joly, 2010). At the same time, regular physical activity (aerobic, muscle building, and yoga) has been shown to decrease CRCIs, although commonly used cognitive measures are self-reported (Zimmer et al., 2016). The investigators will develop an interventional study using objective measures of cognition to confirm the cause-and-effect relationship, and specify the orientation of the cognitive effects of the adapted physical activities. The main and original objective will be to determine if the cognitive functions most affected by CRCI (episodic memory, inhibition, treatment speed) can be optimized in patients undergoing treatment.

Conditions

  • Patients Treated for Cancer

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Adapted Physical Activity Program

The sessions in this program are similar to the adapted physical activity sessions already offered by sports therapy practitioners. This is an aerobic exercise session, with Nordic walking, and a combined session of muscle building and breathing exercises.
