Pedometer Digi-Walker SW-200 (home-based; 12 weeks; 30 minutes, 5 days a week, ≥moderate intensity)
RCT Arm 1: standard public health recommendation Arm 2: breast cancer specific print materials Arm 3: pedometer Arm 4: combination of print materials and pedometer
Determine the effects of breast cancer-specific PA print materials, pedometer, or their combination, on self-reported PA and QoL in breast cancer survivors
Significant intervention effect on self-reported physical activity and walking but no intervention effect on daily steps. Effect seen in all interventional arms. Combination arm, significantly improved QoL ()
RCT Arm 1: exercise intervention Arm 2: no exercise intervention
Examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of a home-based aerobic and progressive resistance exercise intervention for aerobic capacity, strength, muscle mass, CRF, and QoL
Significantly greater increase in daily steps, higher QoL, and lower CRF in intervention group after intervention and at 3-month follow-up.
EE: energy expenditure, DLW: doubly labeled water, EAM: electronic activity monitor, MVPA: moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity, QoL: quality of life, PA: physical activity, RCT: randomized controlled trial, and CRF: cancer-related fatigue.
