In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to produce new evidence on the efficacy of exercise and diet for cardiometabolic risk reduction in BC survivors. Using a 3-arm RCT with to 6 months of 1) exercise following Health Canada guidelines; 2) the same exercise plus counselling to follow Canada's Dietary Guidelines to improve diet quality; or 3) stretching group, this study will answer the following questions: * What is the impact of exercise on cardiometabolic health and body composition in BC survivors? * What is the effect modification of adding a diet quality intervention to exercise on cardiometabolic health and body composition? * Is there a link between the capacity of skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise (and diet) and insulin resistance in BC survivors? The investigators hypothesize that: 1) exercise will improve cardiometabolic and body composition outcomes 2) improvements in cardiometabolic outcome
