Key drivers for participation in MASCOT were \u201cAltruism and extended cancer care\u201d; participants wanted to give something back and assist in improving post-treatment care for MM patients, especially as after treatment \u201cBarriers to being physically active\u201d were a fear of damage and lack of health professional guidance. \u201cInfluences fostering change within the intervention\u201d included physiotherapy supervision and tailored exercises, which gave participants confidence to push themselves in a safe environment and broke down misconceptions about their body. \u201cSocial support\u201d, from both family and peers in the programme, promoted motivation and adherence. Participants expressed concerns about \u201cMaintaining things going forward\u201d but had identified mechanisms to aid continuation. \u201cPhysical and mental benefits\u201d of the programme were highlighted; participants were able to do things they couldn\u2019t before and described feeling free from the constraints of MM.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A post-treatment exercise intervention for MM patients was a positive experience, which enhanced participants\u2019 physical and psychological wellbeing.
