Detailed Description

This monocentric, three-arm, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluates the effect of an activity tracker based exercise program in cancer patients on the Quality of life after oncological therapy. Quality of Life and the intensity of fatigue will be documented with the FACT-G total score of the FACIT Questionnaire six months after completion of radiotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A (Tracker/daily step-count suggestion)
Patients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy. We suggest a daily step-count which should improve the patients phyiscal activity during radiotherapy of breast cancer. Patients receive weekly feedback and a new goal with the aim to reach a total of 6000 daily steps, which should be then maintained during radiotherapy.
Device: Fitness tracker based activity training for Arm A and B. Booklet "physical training, exercise and cancer" and an introduction about physical activity during cancer therapy for Arm A, B, C
Patients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing about physical activity during cancer therapy. With offered guidelines for the daily step counts patients should improve their physical activity during radiotherapy of breast cancer. A weekly feedback and a new goal for the next week will be provided until the individual patient reaches a daily activity of 6000 steps. The setting will be to maintain to this daily activity of 6000 steps during radiotherapy.
Experimental: Arm B (Tracker/no daily step-count suggestion)

Patients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy.

The patients self-document their daily step count during radiotherapy, there will be no recommendation for the daily count of steps.

A weekly feedback and a new goal for the next week will be provided until the individual patient reaches a daily activity of 6000 steps. The setting will be to maintain to this daily activity of 6000 steps during radiotherapy.
No Intervention: Arm C (no activity tracker)
Patients receive a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy. A fitness tracker will not be provided.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of the impact of an Activity tracker based Fitness programme on the Qualitiy of Life after oncological Therapy
Time Frame: 6 Months after completion of adjuvant radiotherapy
This endpoint will be evaluated by the FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General) total scores of the FACIT (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) questionnaire (physical well-being values 0-28, 28 worse outcome; social/family well-being values 0-28, 28 better outcome; emotional well-being values 0-24, 24 worse outcome; functional well-being values 0-28, 28 better outcome
6 Months after completion of adjuvant radiotherapy
