Study Arms (2)
Telephone Counselling
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be asked to increase their exercise by at least 60 minutes per week and will receive a copy of Canada's Physical Activity Guideline plus 12 weekly telephone counseling sessions aimed at helping survivors follow-through on their exercise intention.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants will be asked to increase their exercise by at least 60 minutes per week and will be self-directed, only receiving a copy of Canada's Physical Activity Guideline as standard of care.
Interventions
The intervention is a 12 week telephone counselling exercise program where participants will receive weekly telephone counselling that targets key theoretical behavior change constructs. Participants will also receive a copy of Canada's Physical Activity Guideline.
Eligibility Criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Survivors reporting greater or equal to 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise will be excluded because they will already be meeting the public health guidelines for exercise. Survivors planning to be away for more than 2 weeks during the intervention, or with major exercise contraindications will also be excluded.
