Expanding the Reach and Impact of an Evidence-Based Lifestyle Physical Activity Program for Rural Breast Cancer Survivors

Rural breast cancer survivors are more likely to be physically inactive and experience worse quality of life than nonrural breast cancer survivors. There is a need to increase reach and access to exercise oncology evidence-based programs in rural settings because persistent physical inactivity may contribute to disparities in long-termcancer outcomes (e.g., survival) and health-related outcomes (e.g., quality of life) among rural breast cancer survivors. This pilot study will provide preliminary data on the effectiveness of a hybrid exerciseoncology evidence-based intervention (in person and virtual delivery) and an implementation strategy to justify a larger-scale trial to improve the speed of knowledge and translation of exercise oncology evidence into rural settings.
