Core Tip	The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between spiritual fitness and overall physical fitness, and their resulting impact on feelings of depression and anxiety in individuals being treated for cancer. Thirty participants completed a quality of life and a spiritual fitness survey, and performed a comprehensive fitness evaluation. It was determined that health beliefs did not necessarily back up health practice; specifically, those respondents who classified themselves as “religious” reported that their beliefs positively influenced their health behaviors, yet physiological and psychological data did not support this claim.
