The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of a physical activity intervention on
the self-management of fatigue in young adults receiving chemotherapy. Half of the
participants will receive an intervention which includes education and resources to set
physical activity goals and monitor progress toward goals.

Interventions to increase physical activity have been shown to relieve fatigue in patients
receiving chemotherapy, but no studies have tested a physical activity intervention to
improve fatigue in young adults receiving chemotherapy. This study will determine the impact
of a physical activity intervention on the self-management process variables of self-efficacy
and self-regulation and their relationships to physical activity and fatigue severity in
young adults receiving chemotherapy.
