Resumen
To expand the reach of lifestyle interventions among cancer survivors, in-person anthropometric and physical performance assessments were adapted to remote means and evaluated for feasibility, safety, validity, and reliability. Cancer survivors and supportive partners (n = 112) were approached to participate in three sessions (two remote and one in-person) of anthropometric and physical performance testing and results were compared. There was 98% uptake and no adverse events. ICCs for remote assessments ranged from moderate (8? timed walk = 0.47), to strong (8? get-up-and-go = 0.74), to very strong (30 s chair stand = 0.80; sit-and-reach = 0.86; 2 min step test = 0.87; back scratch = 0.90; weight = 0.93; and waist circumference = 0.98) (p-values < 0.001). One-hundred percent concordance was found for side-by-side and semi-tandem balance and 87.5?90.3% for tandem stances. No significant differences between remote and in-person assessments were found for weight, 8? timed walk, and 8? get-up-and-go. Remote anthropometric and physical performance assessments are reliable, valid, acceptable, and safe among cancer survivors and supportive partners.
