Peer Matching

Participants will be matched with a peer based on evidence informed criteria. Partners will independently communicate and support each other around exercise for the duration of the study.

BEHAVIORAL

Qualified Exercise Professional Support Sessions

Dyads will participate in weekly virtual sessions with a QEP for 10 weeks. Each session will last up to 1 hour. The QEP (i.e., registered kinesiologist) will provide a tailored exercise program, focusing on aerobic activity for both individuals in the dyad based on personal circumstances, cancer-related characteristics, side effects, current fitness level (consistent with home-based exercise strategies), and personal preferences.
