Study Summary

This trial will test a virtual peer-based exercise intervention with qualified exercise professional support to see if it helps older adult female cancer survivors increase exercise and improve quality of life.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking women over 65 living in Canada, who have had a cancer diagnosis and are medically cleared to exercise. They should be currently inactive, doing less than 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week, and have internet access with a webcam.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if older adult cancer survivors benefit from virtual peer support combined with professional exercise guidance. Participants will either receive weekly online sessions with an exercise pro plus peer support or just engage in peer-supported exercise without the pro for 10 weeks.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves regular exercise and social interaction via the internet, there may not be direct medical side effects; however, participants might experience typical workout-related discomforts like muscle soreness.
