A Smartphone App (WExercise) to Promote Physical Activity Among Cancer Survivors: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer survivors face unique health challenges that may be addressed through physical activity (PA) interventions. Technology-based tools provide innovative, resource-efficient alternatives to traditional approaches, delivering PA interventions.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a smartphone app (WExercise) in promoting PA among cancer survivors.

Methods

This study was an assessor-blind, 2-arm randomized controlled trial. The intervention group used WExercise, which consisted of automated weekly lessons developed based on the multi-process action control (M-PAC) framework. The control group received written PA recommendations. Ninety-eight physically inactive cancer survivors who had completed curative treatment were recruited from
