The online delivery of exercise oncology classes supported with health coaching: a parallel pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The primary objective was to investigate the feasibility of a synchronous, online-delivered, group-based, supervised, exercise oncology maintenance program supported with health coaching.

Methods

Participants had previously completed a 12-week group-based exercise program.

A class attendance rate of ≥ 70%, a health coaching completion rate of ≥ 80%, and an assessment completion rate of ≥ 70% were set as markers of feasibility.
