Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will examine whether a mobile app increases exercise levels in breast cancer survivors after treatments, reduces fatigue, and improves physical functions. This experimental study has 200 participants placed into one of two groups. One group will be asked to use the cancer-specific exercise app over 12 weeks, and the other group will receive the cancer exercise guidelines. Exercise will be measured by self-report questionnaires before and after the intervention and three months later. Self-report questionnaires will measure fatigue and quality of life. This research will determine whether a simple mobile app helps increase exercise in breast cancer survivors. Mobile apps to increase exercise may be provided to all breast cancer survivors after treatments to help them recover and possibly improve survival.

- Cancer-specific exercise app
- description
- Participants randomized in this group will be asked to use the app for 12 weeks. Participants will be ask to preferably spread each exercise session over different days of the week. While exercise equipment is not required, the app includes options for using elastic resistance bands or dumbbells. Following baseline assessment and randomization, participants in the intervention group will receive a brief instructional video on how to download and use the app, along with access to a website offering support materials, guidelines, and additional instructional videos. All participants will complete questionnaires at baseline, 12 weeks (post-intervention), and 3 months follow-up.
