Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a cancer diagnosis who can give informed consent, are able to participate in an independent physical activity program, and are referred to or attend the MOvement & REhabilitation clinic are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who require individualized rehabilitative treatment after physiatric assessment, those with significant cognitive or psychiatric impairments, or those with major language barriers are unlikely to benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
The project enrolls adults with a cancer diagnosis who attend the MOvement & REhabilitation clinic and can participate in an independent exercise program. A dedicated physiotherapist provides personalized consultations and educational support, and the team records patients' weekly aerobic activity, clinical status, and barriers at baseline and during follow-up visits. The study tracks trends in meeting WHO-recommended activity levels (≥150 minutes moderate or ≥75 minutes vigorous per week) and documents reasons for changes in activity over time. Results aim to inform how clinic-based personalization influences long-term adoption of active lifestyles among cancer survivors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinics tailor support to increase patients' physical activity, reduce treatment-related side effects, and improve quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Randomized trials and large meta-analyses have shown that physical activity reduces cancer-related fatigue and improves quality of life and survival, though single-center longitudinal tracking of activity after clinic-based personalization is less extensively characterized.
