Summary

"This trial aims to see if using a physical activity index screener, exercise coaching, and self-monitoring can help breast or colon cancer patients increase physical activity and reduce time spent sitting or being inactive."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for breast and colon cancer survivors who are interested in increasing their physical activity. Participants should be willing to use educational materials, wear an activity tracker, complete health surveys, and possibly receive exercise coaching calls.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a Physical Activity Index screener combined with exercise coaching and self-monitoring can help survivors of breast or colon cancer become more active and spend less time sitting.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on physical activity, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, these activities are generally safe and beneficial for most people.
