Summary

This study tests whether adding motivational counselling to a supervised virtual exercise program helps cancer survivors stay physically active. 236 survivors who have finished primary cancer treatment will be split into two groups: one gets standard exercise advice, the other gets extra behavioural counselling every two weeks. The goal is to see if the extra support helps them reach and maintain at least 90 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: behavioural counselling and supervised physical activity
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show a practical way to help cancer survivors maintain a healthy level of physical activity long-term.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on behaviour change, not a direct treatment. Results may not apply to all cancer survivors or lead to a proven therapy.
