CANCER
The findings of the current study provide insight on a population that might need tailored or targeted PA programing. Specifically, our data related to location preference and health-related factors (i.e., walking self-efficacy and cardiorespiratory fitness) that can affect participation in programs can be useful for future intervention design. However, there are limitations. First, the entire sample consisted of post-treatment cancer survivors, mainly educated, affluent Caucasian women. Hence, findings may not be generalizable to the larger population of cancer survivors (e.g., those who are not White, have not undergone treatment, or are currently receiving treatment, less educated, less affluent, or male). Furthermore, although we used accelerometers to objectively measure minutes of PA, there are limitations (i.e., estimation of minutes of sedentary behaviors and PA). For example, it is unclear whether the device (waist-worn) accurately distinguishes the difference between sitting and standing idle, and upper body movement [
