Virtual or In-Person: A Mixed Methods Survey to Determine Exercise Programming Preferences during COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: A survey was conducted to identify barriers and facilitators to engaging in virtual and in-person cancer-specific exercise during COVID-19.

Respondents had previously participated in an exercise program and comprised two groups: those who had experience with virtual exercise programming ('Virtual') and those who had only taken part in in-person exercise ('In-Person').

The survey completion response rate was 66% (N = 127). All
