Interventions

  • Virtually Supervised Exercise Sessions — BEHAVIORAL
    The 12-week intervention will consist of supervised exercise sessions twice per week, and PA behavior change discussion sessions twice per month (bi-weekly) throughout the study for a total of five sessions (Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10). Exercise and PA behavior change discussion sessions will be informed by social cognitive theory, operationalize several BCT's, and include group dynamics-based strategies to enhance group cohesion. Exercise sessions will take place twice per week, lasting approximately one hour.
  • Asynchronous Group — BEHAVIORAL
    The comparator will be an "unsupported intervention",128 which will use the same technology and provide the same content as the intervention but subtract the human components. Participants in the control group will receive access to pre-recorded (i.e., asynchronous) videos of the exercise and discussion sessions. The exercise videos will follow the same format as those in the intervention (i.e., instructor led, circuit-style aerobic and resistance exercises). Discussion sessions will operationalize the same BCT's using PowerPoint slides. Comparator arm participants will receive instructions on how to access these videos via a unique participant login to a secure website, Canvas, the same recommendations to achieve PA guidelines, and the same home-based exercise equipment (along with instructions for use).

Study Details

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.
