Moving Forward Together
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of three
physical activity programs among women with stage 0 to stage 3 breast cancer.
This is a randomized controlled trial, therefore the research team is
interested to see which program(s) help participants increase and maintain
their level of physical activity. Survivors’ mood, fatigue, and quality of life
will also be examined over the one-year duration. Click here for more information.
