Develop and test the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two group-based interventions, compared to a control waiting list, on promoting sustained changes in physical activity, sedentary behavior, quality of life (primary outcomes)
Compare the effects of both interventions (ie, brief PA counseling vs. structured exercise) on long-term changes in our primary outcomes
Evaluate pretreatment moderators of 4-month and 16-month changes in physical activity, sedentary behavior, and quality of life
Identify critical motivational (theoretical) mediators of change in primary outcomes
Study the impact of both interventions on AI therapy continuation, adverse events of treatment, disease-free survival, body composition, sleep quality, physical and psychosocial factors.

1.Physical activity
Physical activity will be objectively measured with a seven-day accelerometer monitoring (Actigraph GT9X). Self-reported physical activity will be measured using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form. The Activity Choice Index (ACI) is employed to assess physically active lifestyle behaviors.
[Time Frame: baseline, 4 months (intervention's end), 10 and 16 months]
2.Sedentary Behavior
Sedentary behavior will be objectively measured with a seven-day accelerometer monitoring (Actigraph GT9X). Self-reported sedentary behavior (sitting time) will be measured using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form.
[Time Frame: baseline, 4 months (intervention's end), 10 and 16 months]
3.Cancer-related Quality of Life
Quality of life will be assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and its breast cancer module (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Five items specifically related to joint, bone, and muscle pain/discomfort, derived from the new EORTC QLQ-BR45, were added provided the specificity of aromatase inhibitors' side effects.
[Time Frame: baseline, 4 months (intervention's end), 10 and 16 months]
4.Healthcare Use
Healthcare use will be assessed by phone interview 6 months after ending the intervention period. Data will be collected on healthcare resources use during the study period, namely number and type of consultations, drugs, medical tests and exams, in-patient stays and day care sessions. Absenteeism will be assessed using participants' reports of their number of absence days or percentage of normal working hours worked, valued at patients' hourly wage. These resources will then be valued using usual official sources.
[Time Frame: 6-month after the end of the intervention]

Brief physical activity counselling program: It comprises 8 sessions (120 minutes each), every fifteen days, addressing the following themes: reasons to change, an introduction to the PAC-WOMAN program and principles, types of physical activity and their benefits, strategies on how to become more active and less sedentary, how to safely practice exercise at home, the importance of social support for doing more physical activity, barriers and facilitators for becoming more active, development of coping plans and strategies to overcome those barriers, establishing SMART goals, self-monitoring, medical aspects related to symptom management in breast cancer survivors, body image and self-acceptance, sharing experiences with role models, and re-evaluating action plans. It will be delivered in a need-supportive interpersonal climate, according to Self-Determination Theory principles.
Structured exercise program: Informed by the most recent guidelines for exercise prescription and safe practice in cancer populations. A supervised program of 32 sessions (over 4 months), lasting 90 min each, and taking place twice a week, was developed. The program combines aerobic, strength and mobility exercises, and is organised in four mesocycles, with progressive intensity, always adapted according to participants' initial assessments and evolution throughout the weeks. Once every 15 days, a thematic group class will be offered to participants, so that they can experiment and discover new physical activities, and more easily maintain regular practice in the future.
Control group (ie, waiting list): Participants will keep daily routines and standard medical care. At the end of the study, the control group will be offered the structured exercise program.
