Participants will be asked to complete a 12 week virtual physical activity program delivered by the BurnAlong app, participate in a discussion board, and engage in live physical activity sessions with an exercise physiologist.

Participants will engage in two to three virtual physical activity sessions a week through the BurnAlong app for three months with a chosen partner and participate at least twice a week in the research team-mediated social media message board. Additionally, participants will be asked to participate in one live physical activity session per month with an exercise physiologist.

The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.

This is a single-arm, prospective, interventional pilot study.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer ages 18-39 (n=20) will engage in three months of virtually group physical activity (PA) delivered via BurnAlong, a wellness platform and online app.

Participants will be asked to engage in a BurnAlong workout session with a partner (friend/spouse/child/fellow study participant) a minimum of three times a week for 3 months.

Participants will also meet monthly with an exercise physiologist for a customized exercise session. Participants are allowed to engage in additional PA and non-PA sessions on BurnAlong as desired.

Participants will also be asked to engage in a private social network discussions around key topics of interest for AYA communities with a focus on post-traumatic growth and positive psychology with a minimum of 2 post engagements a week for 3 months.

Participants will complete surveys and physical assessments at baseline and at end of study.

Participants also participate in a 1 hr qualitative exit interview about their well-being, participation experiences, and experience with using the BurnAlong platform.

Number of participants that adhere to a 3-month virtually delivered physical activity program via BurnAlong, group discussion boards, and a monthly live physical activity session with an exercise physiologist

Evaluate impact of intervention on resting heart rate (bpm) at 3-months (compared to baseline day 0)

Evaluate impact of intervention on sleep duration (number of hours slept each night) at 3-months (compared to baseline day 0)

Evaluate impact of intervention on the percentage of time awake during the night at 3-months (compared to baseline day 0)

Evaluate short-term effects of virtually delivered exercise, partner support, and group discussion on well-being. PROMIS measures are scored on a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Scores can be categorized as: within normal limits, mild, moderate and severe.

Evaluate short-term effects of virtually delivered exercise, partner support, and group discussion on post-traumatic growth and self-improvement

Evaluate short-term effects of virtually delivered exercise, partner support, and group discussion on theoretical determinants of physical activity participation as proposed by the Health Action Process Approach (task self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, risk perception, intentions, planning, maintenance self-efficacy, recovery self-efficacy, physical activity behavior) by comparing data at baseline (day 0) and 3 months

Evaluate short-term effects of virtually delivered exercise, partner support, and group discussion on social well-being. PROMIS measures of the ability to participate in social roles and activities are scored on a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Scores can be categorized as: within normal limits, mild, moderate and severe.

Evaluate short-term effects of virtually delivered exercise, partner support, and group discussion on distress and areas of concern such as practical, family, emotional, social, physical, and information

12 item questionnaire that assesses the 6 experiential aspects of participation (autonomy, belongingness, challenge, engagement, mastery, and meaning) on a 7 point scale (1, strongly disagree, to 7, strongly agree)
