What is being tested?
ActivityChoice is testing how well two referral methods work to get cancer survivors into physical activity programs. One method gives patients extra support in choosing an activity program, while the other offers standard advice.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical activity programs rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue but will vary based on individual health conditions.
