Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior in rural, older cancer survivors after participating in a 16-week remote exercise program. Participants (71% female; mean age: 70.4±5.7) were randomly assigned to intervention (n=20) and waitlist control (n=19) groups. The remote exercise program included balance, strength, and aerobic exercise for one hour, 3 days/week. An accelerometer was used to assess secondary outcomes of physical activity metrics (e.g., moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, step intensity, sedentary time) at baseline and immediately post-treatment. The linear mixed model was conducted to examine group by time differences.
