Study Summary

This trial assesses the use of pickleball to help cancer survivors improve their physical activity, wellness, and social connection.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have had a cancer diagnosis (except squamous and basal cell skin cancers), can speak and read English, and are cleared to exercise safely. Cancer survivors can bring family or friends to join the program, even if they haven't had cancer themselves.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a pickleball program aimed at improving physical activity, wellness, and social interaction among cancer survivors and their companions. Participants will learn how to play pickleball together in this supportive setting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since pickleball is a low-impact sport, side effects might include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or strains. However, participants must be cleared for physical activity to minimize risks.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Family or Friend of Cancer SurvivorsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participation will last approximately 4-6 months. Participants will be encouraged to attend Pickleball sessions at the YMCA at least twice a week. Each session will last 2 hours, and participants will be encouraged to attend at least one hour. Participants will receive a Fitbit to wear continuously 24/7 over 4-6 months to track steps and activity intensity. Participants will also be asked to wear an electronic device (accelerometer) over their right hip during specific time points throughout the study to better understand how pickleball participation contributes to physical activity levels.
