Brief Summary

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

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.

Study Groups

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

Community Oncology patients entering cancer survivorship

Patients 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 bi-weekly phone calls/emails over 12 weeks. Patents also wear a Fitbit on study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Use Exercise to increase physical activity (PA), as measured by cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and balance in underserved cancer survivors \>60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address and to 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.
