- This study investigates a 16-week program for breast cancer survivors that combines supervised group exercise (canoeing) with lifestyle recommendations to boost physical activity.
- The focus is on evaluating various outcomes like aerobic capacity, quality of life, and immune function among participants to determine the program's effectiveness.
