Enrollment will be considered feasible if ≥ 70% of eligible and approached patients actually consent and enroll
Retention will be considered feasible if ≥ 70% of participants who complete baseline measures also complete followup measures
Exercise adherence will be assessed based on performance of prescribed exercise volume, with tele-RT volumes considered feasible if participants perform ≥ 70% of the volume prescribed.
Participants evaluation of feasibility and acceptability will be assessed with a questionnaire, adapted to fit the intervention. The questionnaire includes both Likert Scale and open-ended questions. An item-by-item basis and as average item score, with scores ≥4 (“agree” to “strongly agree”) indicating acceptability. Open-ended responses will be analyzed qualitatively to inform intervention improvement.
Participants will be asked to report the following information: type (joint or soft tissue or other), location (specific body part), and cause (description of activity during which injury was incurred). Participants will then rate the injury on a scale of 1-4 (1=not related, 2=unlikely related, 3=likely related, 4=definitely related). The severity of the injury will be rated on a scale of 1-4 (1=mild/no change in daily activity, 2=some limitation of daily activity, 3=major limitation of daily activity, 4=life threatening). The duration for which daily activities were impacted will be rated on a scale from 1-5 (1=no change, 2=1-3 days, 3=4-7 days, 4=1-2 weeks, 5=more than 2 weeks). The numerator of the variable used to determine program safety will be the number of musculoskeletal injuries that were rated at least a 3 for relatedness to RT (likely related or definitely related) and caused at least some limitation of daily activity lasting more than 3 days.
Muscular strength will be measured using four separate 1-repetition maximum (1RM) lifts: chest press, seated row, leg press, and leg extension performed on resistance training machines. If a particular 1RM lift is contraindicated for a given participant (e.g., limited range of motion for a given joint or osteoporosis), the lift will be skipped, or 5-repetition maximum (5RM) will be measured instead of 1RM, and 1RM will be estimated from 5RM.

Muscular endurance will be measured by the maximum number of repetitions a participant can perform at 70% of the baseline 1-repetition maximum (1RM) for the same four lifts
