Abbreviations: Phys-Can, Physical Training and Cancer; HI, High intensity exercise; LMI, Low-to-moderate intensity exercise; BCTs, self-regulatory behavior change techniques.
Data are amean percentage (SD) or bnumber (%). Patients who dropped out of the study were recorded as 0 adherence to any remaining training session.
