CONTEXT: In our institution, patients with upper aero-digestive tract cancer receive adapted physical activity (APA) awareness training as part of their holistic oncology care program. The main aim of this study was to show that raising awareness of APA helped to increase self-reported PA levels, as assessed by questionnaire.

METHOD: This retrospective study included 67 patients with localized Head and Neck cancer. The intervention consisted of an APA teacher; a face-to-face consultation before the start of oncological treatment, four monthly telephone interventions in the three months following the end of treatment. The pre-post evaluation focused on self-reported APA practices before and three months after the end of oncology treatment.

RESULTS: APA awareness training significantly increased average total PA, average moderate PA intensity, average weekly walking frequency, average walking intensity, and significantly reduced daily sitting time. The search for correlations between body composition or type of treatments and changes in PA levels showed no significant results.

CONCLUSION: This study showed that a basic APA awareness training integrated into a holistic oncology care program could increase patients' self-reported PA levels. The next step will be to verify the objectivity of the increase in self-reported PA, and then to assess its effect on quality of life and survival.
