A free motivation module for oncology sports groups
MotivA is a motivational program for developing a physically active lifestyle in cancer patients during and after cancer treatment. It teaches effective self-management strategies for integrating more exercise and sport into everyday life, such as setting health goals and using exercise plans and protocols. MotivA can be used as an additional module in oncology sports groups (e.g. rehabilitation sports).
The free project package contains a manual for exercise instructors, including a CD with 7 audio clips on motivation and an accompanying booklet for cancer patients. Exercise instructors can integrate the audio clips into their classes, and participants can listen to them at home. When used as part of an exercise program, the audio input is used over a period of about 8 weeks, e.g. weekly at the beginning of each class. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes should be allowed for each audio clip. Various extensions are possible. The audio clips can also be downloaded for use at home.
