Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed pilot study will test the acceptability and feasibility of a sixteen-week, two-arm randomized control physical activity intervention in older cancer survivors. The Survivors Taking Action with Remote exercise Training (JumpSTART) program is intended for cancer survivors (Stage I-III) age 60 or older, living in rural areas. The goal of this intervention is to increase physical activity opportunities for cancer survivors who are geographically isolated by offering exercise classes (EnhanceFitness) online. The real-time instruction of group-based classes helps older adults to exercise by establishing relationships, fostering social support and receiving corrective and supportive feedback from instructors that enhance self-efficacy for exercise.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The intervention will be offered to two groups (goal sample size of 15 participants in each group, with additional recruiting to account for attrition). The second Remote Enhance Fitness group will begin following the completion of the first group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group - Remote Enhance Fitness

Participants assigned to the intervention group will participated in a 16-week remote exercise intervention. Following a home/space environment and technology needs assessment, participants will attend a one-on-one orientation and practice class with a research assistant. Participants will join a live-streamed, instructor-led group Enhance Fitness exercise session for 1-hour, 3 days/week for 4 months (16-weeks).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Remote Enhance Fitness

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Remote Enhance Fitness Intervention will include live-streamed exercise classes (1-hour long, 3 days per week, 16 weeks). Certified Enhanced Fitness trainers will lead the exercise classes per Enhance Fitness guidelines, including modifications and gradual progression. During weeks 8-12 participants will have the option to wear a Fitbit during classes for up to 6 class session (2 weeks) for collection of heart rate, steps, and physical activity intensity along with ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during exercise classes.

Waitlist Control

Participants randomized to the waitlist control group will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Remote Enhance Fitness class after study measures are completed. Cuff weights will be provided along with technical orientation, support, and equipment as needed.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
