The usual care group did not receive any recommendation or support to exercise but were not advised or requested to change their exercise behavior or avoid exercise. At the completion of the follow-up assessment (12 months), this group was provided with the exercise manual and logbook, behavioral guidebook and provided with information of exercise programs available for cancer survivors.
