Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Cancer
Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm
Malignant Solid Neoplasm
Interventions
Behavioral: Physical Activity
Registration Number
NCT05988892
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if increasing physical activity (PA) will increase physical functioning, as measured by cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and balance in underserved adult cancer survivors \> 60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address. Also, to determine if increasing PA will increase quality of life (QOL), as measured by physical functioning and fatigue, in underserved cancer survivors \>60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address.

SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Community Oncology patients entering cancer survivorshipPhysical ActivityPatients participate in a virtual cancer rehabilitation program with weekly virtual visits by a cancer exercise specialist who provides a personalized synchronous exercise plan and receive weekly phone calls over 12 weeks. Patents also wear a Fitbit on study.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of adherence to program based on participation in virtual exercise sessionsBaseline; 12 weeks

Adherence evaluated based on participation in virtual exercise sessions during 12-week exercise intervention.

Change in Quality of Life (QOL) using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)Baseline; 12 weeks

QOL evaluated based on physical functioning and fatigue, assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pre- and post-12-week exercise intervention.

Change in physical functioning using Short Physical Performance BatteryBaseline; 12 weeks

Change in physical functioning based on improvement in endurance, strength, and balance assessed using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) pre- and post-12-week exercise intervention.

Change in satisfaction using a 5-point Likert scaleBaseline; 12 weeks

Satisfaction assessed using a 5-point Likert scale following 12-week exercise intervention and participant-reporting likelihood of recommending program.
