CANCER, PHYSICAL HANDICAP
Strengths of our study include the RCT design and the long duration of a 1‐year individualized program. The schedule was embedded in each participant's daily living, allowing greatest flexibility in the planning and performing of PA as well as sustained behavioral change to take place. The PA program was followed‐up by regular phone calls and meetings by trained physiotherapists and supported by various motivational features. In parallel, long‐term adherence was tracked which is much more relevant than short‐term adherence.A limitation in all trials focusing on change in PA behavior is the highly selective and mostly sport‐motivated participants, especially in CCS where survivors with mental or physical handicaps related or not related to the cancer history tend not to participate.
