This $414,446 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) will fund a 12-week group-based videoconference intervention to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in cancer survivors. The project aims to examine the efficacy of this virtually supervised intervention to increase MVPA and improve health outcomes such as quality of life and physical fitness in this population. Key activities include twice-weekly instructor-led group exercise sessions and PA behavior change discussions delivered via videoconferencing. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 12 weeks post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up, measuring MVPA, quality of life, and physical fitness. The award was made to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs Division, which will implement the intervention and evaluation. If successful, this videoconference-based approach could expand the reach and scalability of supervised group-based physical activity interventions for cancer survivors.
