Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will explore the feasibility (suitability), efficacy (research-setting outcomes), and participant satisfaction of a virtually-supervised 12-week exercise and diet intervention for women with ovarian cancer. It will include exercise, behavior change strategies, and guidance around healthy eating. Participants will be instructed and supervised virtually in two exercise sessions weekly for 12 weeks by a professional trained to deliver the program. An additional 1 exercise session per week, completed independently, will be added from weeks 4-12 of the program. Finally participants will participate in two separate virtual group nutrition sessions. Assessments will occur at baseline, end-of-intervention, and 6 months post-baseline.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 50-75 years of age (women tend to be older at time of diagnosis, with a median age in Canada of 62 years); 2. Completed primary chemotherapy treatment (oral maintenance therapy allowed); 3. Are within one year of completion of primary chemotherapy without known recurrence; 4. Have access to a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer with a camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection; 5. Speak English, to ensure safety in delivery of the physical activity intervention Exclusion Criteria: 1. Do not pass pre-exercise screening for safety and do not subsequently provide written medical clearance from their physician to participate; 2. Do not consent to adhere to safety requirements to participate in a virtual delivery program (i.e., be seen on video for duration of class); 3. Experienced a fall requiring medical attention in the prior 6 months as individuals may be a higher risk for fall in a virtual physical activity program setting and would be more appropriate for referral to falls clinic
