AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults who have had any type of cancer in the last 5 years and have finished their main treatment. It tests live online group exercise against recorded exercise videos.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Any type of cancer diagnosed within the last 5 years.
- Earlier treatment
- Main treatment (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery) must be finished, with no treatment planned in the next nine months. Long-term therapies such as anti-hormone or targeted therapies are allowed.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Already doing 150 minutes or more per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
- Health problems that make exercise without medical supervision unsafe, such as uncontrolled hypertension or being unable to walk without an assistive device
- Taking part now, or planning to take part, in another program to encourage exercise or physical activity

Efficacy of a Group-based Videoconference Intervention to Increase Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors
The goal of this research study is to look at how live, online group exercise compares to recorded videos for helping increase physical activity levels, improve physical fitness and quality of life, and reduce loneliness among those living with and beyond cancer. The following aims have been established for this study:
* Aim 1: Examine the effect of a group-based videoconference physical activity (PA) intervention on moderate to vigorous physical activity [MVPA] (i.e., aerobic and resistance exercise). * Aim 2: Examine the effect of the intervention on additional health-related outcomes including physical fitness (i.e., aerobic endurance, muscular strength), and quality of life at both timepoints. * Aim 3: Explore potential mediators and moderators of intervention effects. We will examine mediators (e.g., self-efficacy, outcome expectations, group cohesion) and moderators (e.g., age, cancer stage, neighborhood walkability) of the intervention on MVPA. * Exploratory Aim: Determine whether a group-based videoconference PA intervention reduces loneliness among cancer survivors.
Researchers will randomize participants into one of two guided exercise groups that are 12-weeks long in duration. Participants will be asked to complete online fitness assessments and surveys as well as wear a physical activity monitor device and watch a few times throughout the study. The whole study is 9-months long in duration with a 6-month free-living period where no study activities will take place.
Inclusion: Able to speak/read English,; Diagnosed with any type of cancer within the last 5 years; Completed primary or adjuvant treatment (i.e., chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery) with no planned treatment within the next nine months. This does not include long-term or chronic therapies such as anti-hormone or targeted therapies (e.g., aromatase inhibitor, androgen deprivation therapy, immunotherapies).
Exclusion: Known contraindications for non-medically supervised moderate or greater intensity exercise (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, inability to walk without an assistive device); Existing participation in ≥150 minutes per week of at least moderate intensity aerobic exercise; Current or planned participation in another structured program or intervention intended to encourage participation in exercise or physical activity.
