Zoom workouts could boost fitness and fight loneliness in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07290309
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether live, group-based exercise classes held over Zoom can help cancer survivors increase their physical activity, improve fitness, and enhance quality of life. Researchers will randomly assign 300 cancer survivors to either live online classes or recorded exercise videos for 12 weeks. Participants will wear activity monitors and complete surveys to track changes in exercise, loneliness, and well-being over nine months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- live, online group exercise sessions
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a convenient way for cancer survivors to become more active, improve fitness, and feel less isolated.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary widely. The benefit depends on participants sticking with the program, and it may not work for everyone.
