Summary

This trial will see if an exercise intervention can improve thinking skills in breast cancer survivors and help create exercise guidelines for them.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for breast cancer survivors who finished treatment at least 6 months ago but within the last 5 years, have low physical activity levels, own a Fitbit-compatible device with internet, and experience cognitive difficulties post-diagnosis. It's not for those with medical conditions that make unsupervised exercise unsafe or those unable to commit to a year-long study.
What is being tested?
The study is examining if an exercise program can boost brain function in breast cancer survivors. Participants will either engage in this physical activity intervention or be part of a control group without the special exercise regimen.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves physical activity, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury. However, these are generally mild and manageable.
