Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial evaluates a community-based physical activity program for underserved cancer survivors. Cancer and its treatment significantly influence physical, psychosocial, and cognitive functioning. Historically, community sites (local and national) have not been staffed to offer support services such as physical, and occupational therapies (everyday life activities to promote health and well-being) or nutrition counselling, and do not offer a whole-person model of care. In this study, researchers have partnered with the YMCA to provide tailored home-based exercise programs for underserved cancer patients and survivors. Accessing exercise professionals may allow patients to prevent acute problems from becoming chronic, long-lasting physically weak impairments that directly influence patients' quality of life.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Supportive Care (virtual exercise classes)
- description
- Participants participate in virtual exercise classes at least TIW over 20-60 minutes for 12 weeks. Participants are expected to work towards achieving the national physical activity exercise guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic based physical activity and 2-3 strength training sessions each week.

Primary outcomes (5)
- measure
- Proportion of patients referred to the intervention (Feasibility)
- timeFrame
- Up to 12 weeks
- description
- At the provider level, feasibility will be defined as the proportion of patients that were referred to the intervention versus (vs.) the proportion of patients that enrolled in the study. Will estimate the referral rates with 95% confidence intervals obtained from generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression models, accounting for the within provider clustering.
