Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The Cancer Exercise app (CEA) is designed to promote physical activity among cancer survivors. The proposed randomized controlled clinical trial will investigate, in adults who have completed cancer treatment, the effects of a 12-week home-based exercise program, delivered using CEA, on physical activity levels. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: (1) CEA or (2) Usual Care.
