Brief summary
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.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALPhysical 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in physical functioning using Short Physical Performance Battery | Baseline; 12 weeks | 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. |
| Change in Quality of Life (QOL) using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) | Baseline; 12 weeks | QOL evaluated based on physical functioning and fatigue, assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pre- and post-12-week exercise intervention. |
| Change in satisfaction using a 5-point Likert scale | Baseline; 12 weeks | Satisfaction assessed using a 5-point Likert scale following 12-week exercise intervention and participant-reporting likelihood of recommending program. |
| Rate of adherence to program based on participation in virtual exercise sessions | Baseline; 12 weeks | Adherence evaluated based on participation in virtual exercise sessions during 12-week exercise intervention. |
