Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-arm, prospective, interventional pilot study.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer ages 18-39 (n=20) will engage in three months of virtually group physical activity (PA) delivered via BurnAlong, a wellness platform and online app.

Participants will be asked to engage in a BurnAlong workout session with a partner (friend/spouse/child/fellow study participant) a minimum of three times a week for 3 months.

Participants will also meet monthly with an exercise physiologist for a customized exercise session. Participants are allowed to engage in additional PA and non-PA sessions on BurnAlong as desired.

Participants will also be asked to engage in a private social network discussions around key topics of interest for AYA communities with a focus on post-traumatic growth and positive psychology with a minimum of 2 post engagements a week for 3 months.

Participants will complete surveys and physical assessments at baseline and at end of study.

Participants also participate in a 1 hr qualitative exit interview about their well-being, participation experiences, and experience with using the BurnAlong platform.

Study Groups

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

Virtual Group-Based Physical Activity (BurnAlong) and Discussion Board

Participants will be asked to complete a 12 week virtual physical activity program delivered by the BurnAlong app, participate in a discussion board, and engage in live physical activity sessions with an exercise physiologist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual group based physical activity (BurnAlong) and Social Media Discussion Board

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will engage in two to three virtual physical activity sessions a week through the BurnAlong app for three months with a chosen partner and participate at least twice a week in the research team-mediated social media message board. Additionally, participants will be asked to participate in one live physical activity session per month with an exercise physiologist.
