First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week habit-based program can help cancer survivors reduce the time they spend sitting or lying down during the day. Participants receive weekly tips, check-in sessions, and a Fitbit to encourage more movement. The goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, and whether it leads to less sedentary behavior, better physical strength, and improved quality of life.
