Breast cancer survivors with obesity have an increased risk of cancer recurrence, second malignancy, and comorbidities. Though physical activity (PA) interventions are needed, investigation of the relationships between obesity and factors influencing PA program aspects among cancer survivors remain understudied. Thus, we conducted a cross-sectional study examining associations amongst baseline body mass index (BMI), PA program preferences, PA, cardiorespiratory fitness, and related social cognitive theory variables (self-efficacy, exercise barriers interference, social support, positive and negative outcome expectations) from a randomized controlled PA trial with 320 post-treatment breast cancer survivors. BMI was significantly correlated with exercise barriers interference (The prevalence of breast cancer survivors continues to grow as diagnosis, treatment, and control advance. However, quality of life after diagnosis among this population is affected by modifiable lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity (PA) engagement [Best practices for assisting this population in adopting a physically active lifestyle include using evidence-based theories [In addition to SCT constructs, research focusing on what individuals prefer could be vital to optimizing participant engagement and acceptability when designing PA programs [Thus, to inform future PA promotion programs for breast cancer survivor populations with obesity, we performed a secondary analysis of baseline data from a randomized PA intervention trial [
