About

The purpose is to examine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the role of a personal trainer for non-metastatic breast cancer survivors to improve physical activity and well-being (in terms of quality of life).

Full description

After breast cancer treatment, many women are faced with effects of treatment such as changes in appearance, fatigue, and reduced quality of life as compared to the pre-disease state. An intervention to increase physical activity may be helpful to improve well-being and outcomes for women treated for breast cancer.
