About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a 12-week hybrid exercise and education program (EmpowerHer) works to improve health-related quality of life in breast cancer survivors aged 35 to 65.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the EmpowerHer program improve the everyday quality of life of participants? * Does the program lower fatigue, anxiety, and depression while raising physical fitness?
Researchers will compare the EmpowerHer program to usual medical care to see if the program works better to help survivors recover.
Participants will:
* Use a mobile application at home at least twice a week for structured exercise. * Read short educational modules on the mobile application about health after cancer. * Attend weekly in-person motivational group sessions with a program facilitator. * Complete health and physical tests at the start, at 12 weeks, and 3 months later.
