Summary

This trial will test whether group-based physical activity, delivered virtually, is feasible for AYA cancer survivors who have completed treatment. 20 participants will be enrolled for 3 months.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young adult cancer survivors aged 18-39 who have finished treatment at least 3 months ago, are not currently very active, and can use internet-connected devices. It's not for those with severe hearing or vision loss, pregnant individuals, or anyone planning to undergo major cancer treatments within the next three months.

What is being tested?

The study tests a virtual group exercise program called BurnAlong and a social media discussion board to see if they're doable for these survivors. All participants will try out the online fitness classes and join discussions over about three months.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical activity and social media use rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience general exercise-related discomforts like muscle soreness.
