Volunteer research opportunity for fitness and exercise professionals

The Moving Through Cancer Task force is looking for fitness and exercise professionals to participate in a survey to assess knowledge about prescribing exercise for people with cancer. The purpose of the study is to understand how many exercise professionals meet the competencies required to work with people undergoing active cancer treatment. This will help to establish a baseline understanding of the workforce needs to provide exercise as standard care in oncology settings. It will also help to inform targeted strategies to upskill exercise oncology professionals. No experience with cancer is necessary to participate. Responses will be confidential, and the survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to receive one of three vouchers. All data collected within the survey are returned directly to the research team at Northwestern University, not ACSM, via the survey platform REDCap. Data collection and sharing of results are not connected with ACSM. If you would like to participate, please follow this survey link HERE. The study has been approved by the Edith Cowan University Ethics Committee (2023-04844-Kennedy). Please direct any questions to the principal investigator, Mary Kennedy, Ph.D., FACSM, via email at m.kennedy@ecu.edu.au.
