Exercise study for couples coping with cancer expands to rural Oregon

MALHEUR COUNTY “Exercising Together” is the first study to test exercise as a way to improve the health of both the cancer survivor and their partner. And now an expansion of the study that does not require travel to participate is enrolling couples living in five rural counties: Lake, Wheeler, Malheur, Jefferson, and Benton. Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the study is designed to learn how exercise can benefit survivors of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer and their partners. Couples in the study have the chance to be in a group that exercises on their own at home or in a group that exercises online with other participants. The group exercise classes are being conducted by videoconference with an instructor who gives encouragement and assistance to participants when they need it. Participants also are able to see and hear each other during sessions for group support.
