Medical rehabilitation can reduce these resulting treatment consequences in the interim (Scott et al., 2013) and is therefore part of the national and international guidelines for the management of breast cancer (Kreienberg et al., 2012; National Collaborating Centre for Cancer, 2009). Additionally, empirical findings suggest that having a physically active lifestyle after completing breast cancer treatment can reduce the risk of mortality (Lahart et al., 2015), but women tend to considerably reduce their amount of physical activity while undergoing active therapy and upon concluding the therapy compared with pre‐diagnosis levels (Bock et al., 2013), and their less active lifestyle will mostly continue to remain unchanged after the diagnosis without targeted intervention (Broderick et al., 2013).Medical rehabilitation for breast cancer survivors in Germany comprises 3 weeks of inpatient treatment. Physical exercise programmes are an integral part of such a medical rehabilitation (Brüggemann et al., 2018). Nevertheless, despite the evidence showing the advantages of these programmes, such as comparatively high levels of exercising and motivation during the medical rehabilitation, many women fail to maintain a long‐term physically active lifestyle after discharge (Exner et al., 2009).
