Interventions

  • Exercise — BEHAVIORAL
    A combination of resistance exercise and cardiovascular exercise (performed 2 days per week for 8-weeks) is tailored to each individual in accordance with their medical/cancer-related history, baseline assessments of physical function, and overall goals. Resistance exercise includes 6-8 exercises targeting major muscle groups. The first week of the program is used to familiarize participants to the exercises of the program, provide coaching on safe and appropriate technique, and identifying initial load for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (equivalent to \~65% 1 repetition maximum), with a goal of working towards 4 sets of 8 reps. Additionally, participants are asked to perform 20-30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic activity (approximately 60-85% age-predicted heart rate maximum) via walking, jogging, or cycling each session.

Study Details

The investigators are examining the impact of an 8-week multi-modal exercise program (resistance and cardiovascular training) delivered 2 times per week on physical function adults (\>18 years old) with cancer.
