To expand the scalability of lifestyle interventions among cancer survivors, in-person assessments were adapted to remote means and evaluated for feasibility, safety, validity, and reliability. (2) Methods: Cancer survivors and supportive partners were approached to participate in three anthropometric and physical performance testing sessions (two remote\/one in-person). Correlations, concordance, and differences between testing modes were evaluated. (3) Results: 110-of-112 individuals approached for testing participated (98% uptake); the sample was 78% female, 64% non-Hispanic White, of mean age 58 years and body mass index = 32.4 kg\/m2. ICCs for remote assessments ranged from moderate (8\u2019 walk = 0.47), to strong (8\u2019 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; waist circumference = 0.98) (p-values &lt; 0.001). Perfect concordance (100%) was found for side-by-side and semi-tandem balance, and 87.5\u201390.3% for tandem balance. No significant differences between remote and in-person assessments were found for weight, 8\u2019 walk, and 8\u2019 get-up-and-go. No adverse events occurred and 75% indicated no preference or preferred virtual testing to in-person. (4) Conclusions: Remote anthropometric and physical performance assessments are reliable, valid, acceptable, and safe among cancer survivors and supportive partners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers14041075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T20:24:21Z","timestamp":1645475061000},"page":"1075","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Test\/Retest Reliability and Validity of Remote vs. In-Person Anthropometric and Physical Performance Assessments in Cancer Survivors and Supportive Partners"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6763-728X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teri W.","family":"Hoenemeyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William W.","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2247-8596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert A.","family":"Oster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"O\u2019Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"},{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, UAB School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dorothy W.","family":"Pekmezi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"O\u2019Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Behavior, UAB School of Public Health, Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Pye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5241-932X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wendy","family":"Demark-Wahnefried","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"},{"name":"O\u2019Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, Birmingham, AL 35233, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1016","DOI":"10.6004\/jnccn.2020.0037","article-title":"NCCN Guidelines Insights: Survivorship, Version 2.2020","volume":"18","author":"Denlinger","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
