A qualitative exploration of patient and clinician needs and preferences for a physical activity intervention during breast cancer chemotherapy
Both patients and clinicians support PA programs delivered during chemotherapy. Key features of desirable PA programs were supervision by physical therapists, flexibility and convenience with both in-person and remote options, and group and individual components to facilitate patient participation. These findings can inform the design and implementation of future PA programs during chemotherapy for breast cancer.
