Cover Story: Physical activity (PA) can help ameliorate the physiological and psychosocial effects of cancer and its treatments. However, barriers such as inadequate social support and lack of enjoyment can prevent many cancer survivors from consistently engaging in their recommended PA. Pickleball, the fastest growing sport in the United States, is a broadly appealing PA opportunity that offers accessibility, social interaction, and friendly competition. In the single-arm pilot study of Project Rally, a YMCA-based pickleball program for cancer survivors, we established program feasibility and acceptability and identified preliminary improvements in PA, fitness, physical functioning, and social support. These results will inform efforts to increase PA and enhance wellness among cancer survivors by expanding the scale and reach of Project Rally. View this paper
