abstract = {To successfully implement exercise programs for patients
with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), services and patient
education should consider patients' knowledge, preferences,
values, and goals. Hence, gaining insight into their
perspectives on exercise and exercise programming is
important.In this cross-sectional survey, we recruited
patients with MBC from the Netherlands, Germany, Poland,
Spain, and Sweden. We collected data on patients' knowledge
and skills about exercise and outcome expectations. We
identified barriers to and facilitators of participation in
exercise programs, and patients' preferences for program
content and modes of exercise delivery.A total of 420
patients participated in the survey. Respondents were, on
average, 56.5 years old (SD 10.8) and $70\%$ had bone
metastases. Sixty-eight percent reported sufficient skills
to engage in aerobic exercise, but only $35\%$ did so for
resistance exercise. Respondents expected exercise to have
multiple physical benefits, but a few patients expected
exercise to worsen their pain $(5\%).$ Not having access to
an exercise program for cancer patients $(27\%),$ feeling
too tired $(23\%),$ and/or weak $(23\%)$ were the most often
reported barriers. Facilitators for exercising regularly
were previous positive physical $(72\%)$ and emotional
$(68\%)$ experiences with exercising, and receiving
personalized advice from a physiotherapist or sport/fitness
instructor $(62\%).$ Patients were most interested in
walking and preferred exercising at a public gym, although
there were differences by country. Fifty-seven percent did
not know whether their insurance company reimburses exercise
programs and only $9\%$ would be willing to pay more than
€50 per month to participate.A large percentage of
patients with MBC lack the skills to engage in regular
exercise as recommended by exercise guidelines for people
with cancer. Patients may benefit from personalized advice
and appropriate training facilities to overcome barriers.
When implementing exercise interventions, attention should
be given to reimbursement and the relatively low
willingness-to-pay.},
