Summary

This study investigates the efficacy of a telehealth exercise program designed specifically for rural cancer survivors with cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Small dried blood samples and measures of physical function will be collected throughout the program. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the exercise program improve CRF in rural cancer survivors?
* How do CRF, metabolism, and physical function change during the exercise program? Researchers will compare the program to a wait-list control group. This group will complete all study measures without without changing current physical activity before receiving the full exercise program.

Participants will:

* Complete a virtual physical assessment before and after the program.
* Complete brief virtual assessments and collect dried blood samples (at home and mailed in) every two weeks during the program.
* Receive a personalized exercise program including virtual sessions and remote exercise programming with a cancer exercise specialist (after a 12-week wait period in the wait-list control group).
* Optional: Willing participants will visit a study site for a laboratory-based exercise assessment before and after the program.

BEHAVIORAL

Telehealth Exercise Program

BfitBwell-TP is a 12-week telehealth exercise intervention. Exercise prescriptions are created, personalized, and delivered by Cancer Exercise Specialists. Exercise content is delivered using a combination of videoconference sessions and a commercial personal training application (accessible via smartphone or internet browser). Patient-reported symptoms (specifically cancer-related fatigue) are assessed every two weeks via emailed surveys. Survey scores are compared to a reference chart of predicted improvements during the program, developed from an established clinical exercise oncology program. Additional videoconference sessions are initiated for participants demonstrating lower than expected symptom improvement, with the goal of adapting the current exercise prescription to improve symptom response.
