Table 1 Calculations for training adherence overall and for each of the FITT principles.

From: Patterns and determinants of adherence to resistance and endurance training during cancer treatment in the Phys-Can RCT

 

Resistance training

Endurance training

Overall

Performed reps × sets × weight/prescribed reps × sets × weight

Performed minutes at prescribed intensity/prescribed minutes

Frequency

n attended sessions/n prescribed sessions

n performed sessions/n prescribed sessions*

Intensity

Performed weight/prescribed weight during performed sessions

n of performed intervals where the target heart rate zone was met/n of prescribed intervals during performed sessions*

Time

Performed sets*repetitions/prescribed sets*repetitions during performed sessions

Duration of performed intervals/prescribed duration of intervals during performed sessions*

Type

n sessions where all prescribed exercises were performed/ n performed sessions

n performed interval training sessions/n performed sessions*

  1. *Only possible to calculate for the high intensity training groups because the exercise prescription for endurance training in the low-to-moderate groups did not include frequency, as it was considered unfeasible to prescribe number of bouts
