An interventional study of Physical Activity in Cancer, Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm and Malignant Solid Neoplasm, sponsored by Mayo Clinic. Completed at 4 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-23.
Sponsored by Mayo Clinic · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The purpose of this study is to determine if increasing physical activity (PA) will increase physical functioning, as measured by cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and balance in underserved adult cancer survivors > 60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address. Also, to determine if increasing PA will increase quality of life (QOL), as measured by physical functioning and fatigue, in underserved cancer survivors >60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address.

Patients participate in a virtual cancer rehabilitation program with weekly virtual visits by a cancer exercise specialist who provides a personalized synchronous exercise plan and receive bi-weekly phone calls/emails over 12 weeks. Patents also wear a Fitbit on study.
Behavioral: Physical Activity
Use Exercise to increase physical activity (PA), as measured by cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and balance in underserved cancer survivors \>60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address and to increase quality of life (QOL), as measured by physical functioning and fatigue, in underserved cancer survivors \>60 years of age and/or those of any age residing at a rural address.
Change in physical functioning using Short Physical Performance Battery
Change in physical functioning based on improvement in endurance, strength, and balance assessed using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) pre- and post-12-week exercise intervention.
Time frame: Baseline; 12 weeks
Change in Quality of Life (QOL) using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)
QOL evaluated based on physical functioning and fatigue, assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pre- and post-12-week exercise intervention.
Time frame: Baseline; 12 weeks
Change in satisfaction using a 5-point Likert scale
Satisfaction assessed using a 5-point Likert scale following 12-week exercise intervention and participant-reporting likelihood of recommending program.
Time frame: Baseline; 12 weeks
Rate of adherence to program based on participation in virtual exercise sessions
Adherence evaluated based on participation in virtual exercise sessions during 12-week exercise intervention.
Time frame: Baseline; 12 weeks
