Resumo

Physical activity (PA) is one of few modifiable behaviors in people with cancer that could have a positive effect in their evolution. The American College of Sports Medicine has recently published the recommendations about PA for cancer survivors. Levels of PA performed by Spanish cancer survivors have not been evaluated either through questionnaire or through accelerometry.The aim is to describe in an objective way the levels of PA performed by cancer survivors in our setting. Secondary objectives included description of anthropometry, physical and cardiovascular fitness.
