Summary

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.
