Evaluation of a Translatable Web-Based Intervention for Increasing Physical Activity Among Cancer Survivors: Pilot Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer survivors face long-term health challenges posttreatment. Physical activity (PA) can help manage cancer-related side effects and offer additional health benefits, yet up to 80% of survivors do not meet PA guidelines. Effective and translatable PA interventions are needed.

Objective

This randomized trial assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week automated Internet program for increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among cancer survivors. A secondary aim examined the effect of the intervention on physical and mental well-being.

Methods

Inactive (<60 min/wk of PA) cancer survivors who completed cancer-directed treatment in the past 3-12 months or those on a stable maintenance treatment regimen were
