Background: Despite the reported benefits of physical activity (PA), the majority of cancer survivors are not meeting public health PA guidelines. Most PA intervention studies have used supervised exercise and demonstrated benefits. However, these studies have also found that PA declines significantly after the supervised intervention is completed. Consequently, interventions are needed to ensure longer term adherence after short term supervised exercise interventions. Although several of behaviour change interventions have supported positive increases in PA, no study to date has examined the effects of adding behavioural counseling to a standard supervised exercise program and no study has focused on kidney cancer survivors (KCS).
