Arm C (no activity tracker)
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.
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.
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.
