Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether a home-based exercise program can help rural cancer survivors who don't have access to supervised programs. The goal is to reduce cancer-related fatigue.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for rural Colorado cancer survivors under 80 years old who've finished cancer treatment within the last year, are experiencing moderate-to-severe fatigue, and have high-speed internet plus a smartphone. It's not for those with widespread chronic pain, recent heart issues, severe joint problems or lung diseases like COPD.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a home-based exercise program aimed at reducing fatigue in rural cancer survivors. It uses telehealth to adjust exercises when needed based on the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program's success metrics. The goal is to see if this can match supervised programs' benefits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves an exercise program, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, joint discomfort or strain from physical activity. However, these are typically mild and manageable with proper guidance from the exercise specialists.
