The following are the highlights of the project:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The multi-component m-health intervention (personalized exercise prescriptions and social media) significantly increased cancer survivors\u2019 daily steps than the control condition adopting usual practice post-intervention.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The multi-component m-health intervention led to greater increases in physical health than the control condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The social media intervention had greater increased social support than the control condition post-intervention.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The multi-component m-health intervention also had greater increased physical health than the social media intervention.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Purpose: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To examine the effects of a multi-component m-health intervention (wearable, apps and social media) on cancer survivors\u2019 physical activity (PA), quality of life, and PA determinants, compared to exercise prescription only, social media only, and attention control conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Methods: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A total of 126 cancer survivors (X\u0305 age = 60.37 \u00b1 7.41 years) were recruited from within the U.S. The study duration was 6-months. The participants were randomly placed into 4 groups. All participant received a Fitbit tracker and were instructed to install its companion app to monitor their daily PA. They 1) received previously established weekly personalized exercise prescriptions via emails, 2) received weekly Facebook health education and interacted with one another, 3) received both conditions 1 and 2, and 4) were part of the control condition: adopted usual care. Cancer survivors\u2019 PA daily steps, quality of life (i.e., physical health and mental health), and PA determinants (e.g., self-efficacy, social support) were measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Results: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The final sample size included 123 cancer survivors. The results<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">revealed only the multi-component condition had greater improvements in PA daily steps than the control condition post-intervention (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">p<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &lt; 0.05; 95%CI: 368 to 2,951). Similarly, those in the multi-component condition had significantly greater increased physical health than the control condition (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">p<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &lt; 0.05; 95%CI: -0.41 to -0.01) over time. In addition, the social media condition had significantly greater increased perceived social support than those from the control condition (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">p<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &lt; 0.05; 95%CI: 0.01 to 0.93). No other significant differences on other outcomes were identified.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Discussions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study findings suggested that the implementation of a multi-component m-health intervention had positive effects on cancer survivors\u2019 PA steps and physical health. Also, offering social media intervention has the potential to improve cancer survivors\u2019 perceived social support.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"custom-tab-0-9ccda2d50a1ee1b73ee1f048eb397aa8\" class=\"tab-pane\">\n<div class=\"responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2023 PAEL Demo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4NkrAEUEYGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory is equipped with a variety of active video games, activity monitors and equipment including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Active Video Game systems (4 Wii Switch, 4 Xbox One Kinect, 2 LeapTV); 9 smart TVs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 VR Bike gaming station<\/span><\/li>\n<li>I<span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">nBody Body Composition Analyzer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Quest 3 VR headsets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ActiGraph Link accelerometers (n = 80),<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Actigraph CentrePoint\u00ae Insight Watch accelerometers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">100 Digit Walker pedometer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fitbit Activity Trackers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Actical activity monitor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Portable Stadiometer,\u00a0weight scales\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Computer workstations and 1 printer\/copier\/fax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elliptical machine, treadmill, electronic bike<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ironman Segmental Body Composition Monitor,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FITNESSGRAM testing kit \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skinfold calipers for body composition assessment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DV Camcorders and digital cameras<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stopwatch<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Micro-cassette Transcriber<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ObserveWare Software<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Portable LCD Projectors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lab activities include qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection, intervention development and design, evaluation of intervention outcomes and processes, and data analysis.

Specifically, the Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory concentrates on the use of technology, such as active video games, health wearable, VR, and smartphone applications, to enhance the physical activity of a diverse array of populations with the objective of improving the physiology systems and psychosocial constructs most important to increased physical activity participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prospective graduate students may apply for a Master\u2019s Degree or PhD in Kinesiology. Inquiries about open positions are best directed to Dr. Zan Gao, the director of the Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory.

However, longer commitments to the lab are favored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Undergraduate students brought on as an assistant within the Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory will aid in ongoing research projects and are encouraged to develop their own research ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"custom-tab-0-bbc0100946b39af729826c631cf90b6d\" class=\"tab-pane\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once in Knoxville, follow signs or use your GPS to navigate to The University of Tennessee.

Look for university visitor parking lots or garages. It might be helpful to check the university&#8217;s website for parking information before you go. Some campuses also require parking passes, so you&#8217;ll want to be aware of any such requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Walking to the Building:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you&#8217;ve parked, use a campus map (either a physical one you&#8217;ve picked up or a digital one on your phone) to navigate to the HPER Building. Room 202C is located in the east side of the building. There should be signs on campus to help guide you as well. If in doubt, don&#8217;t hesitate to ask a student or staff member for directions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Using Mobile Map Applications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Input &#8220;HPER Building, University of Tennessee, Knoxville&#8221; into apps like Google Maps or Apple Maps.
