Physical health outcomes and step cadence improvements: a digital physical activity intervention in cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer survivors experience symptoms that can often be managed with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Most studies are short, small, and in-person, limiting scalability. This study evaluated a 12-month digital moderate-to-vigorous physical activity intervention and its impact on long-term physical health outcomes in a large sample of cancer survivors.

Methods

This 2-arm trial was embedded within the Cancer Prevention Study-3 prospective cohort study and included survivors with cancers associated with physical inactivity. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to a digital moderate-to-vigorous physical activity intervention or control group and completed 4 assessments (including surveys and accelerometry) across the 12-month intervention.
