Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a 3-month physical activity intervention aimed to increase moderate-intensity activity among previously inactive breast cancer survivors. Participants will be eligible if they are not currently active, and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Upon eligibility, participants will be randomized into one of two groups. The intervention group will receive weekly guidance from a peer coach to increase their activity throughout the three month intervention. The control group will be encouraged to self-monitor their physical activity throughout the three month intervention. Both groups will receive a Fitbit. Peer coaches will be trained to deliver the physical activity program using a web-based platform; all calls will be virtual. Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention.

- description
- Survivors randomized to webMFT will receive the evidence-based intervention for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) promotion that consists of MVPA counseling matched to patients' motivational readiness, and self-monitoring of MVPA (via Fitbit Inspire 2). The goal for the 3-month program will be to gradually increase the amount of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise that is performed, to the current national recommendations of at least 150 minutes of MPVA per week. Our goal is to promote aerobic exercise that is safe and enjoyable, such as walking.
