Regular physical activity has proven safe and beneficial in cancer survivors.We recently reported the results from a 6-month exercise intervention study with a 2 × 2 factorial design, the Physical Training and Cancer randomized controlled trial (Phys-Can RCT).In the present study, we investigated MVPA in cancer survivors who previously participated in an exercise intervention during curative cancer treatment. The aims were to assess the associations of (1) MVPA level at 12-month follow-up and (2) long-term MVPA patterns (from immediately post-intervention to 12-month follow-up) with different cancer-related health outcomes (ie, cancer-related fatigue, HRQoL, anxiety/depression, function in daily life, cardiorespiratory fitness, sedentary time and sleep). We hypothesized that higher MVPA levels at 12-month follow-up and increased MVPA patterns after the end of an exercise intervention would be associated with improved health outcomes.
