Summary
Lung cancer is associated with complex symptoms which frequently lead to inactivity and functional decline. There are well-established evidence-based recommendations regarding the amount of physical activity that people with cancer should engage in. However the current models of care in lung cancer do not formally utilise these recommendations. This project aims to bridge the evidence-practice gap with the ultimate aim of improving outcomes for people with lung cancer.

Funding Amount
$181,065.00
Summary
Only 15% of adolescents participate in adequate physical activity each day. Schools can be supported to adopt policies and practices which increase adolescent physical activity. This study aims to test a model of support to assist schools to offer a range of practices known to improve adolescent physical activity levels, within routine school practice. If effective, the model of support could be used to assist schools to implement a range of other policies and practices.
