Behaviour Change for Cancer Survivors Trial (NCT06624930)
A Randomized Controlled Trial Adding Behavioural Counselling to Supervised Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will be a two-arm RCT, to examine the effects of an entirely virtual, 6-month supervised PA program plus standard exercise counselling (PA+EC) versus a supervised PA plus motivationally-enhanced behavioral counselling (PA+BC) on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in cancer survivors. A 6-month post intervention follow-up (T2) and 1-year post intervention follow-up (T3; 1-year follow-up from post-intervention) will take place after the intervention to address maintenance. The intervention is designed using evidence-based research in the fields of exercise oncology using effective clinical design and theoretical approaches, including behaviour change techniques, to gradually increase MVPA to at least 90 minutes per week in cancer survivors as per the exercise guidelines for cancer survivors.
