Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the impact of a supervised 12-week high-intensity aerobic interval exercise program (versus a self-directed exercise usual care group) on traditional and novel cardiovascular disease risk factors and surrogate markers of cardiovascular- and overall-mortality in a population-based sample of testicular cancer survivors.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise Group

Subjects in the exercise group will attend supervised exercise sessions three times a week, for 12 weeks. The exercise intervention will consist of uphill walking or jogging on a treadmill between 50% and 95% of VO2peak for 35 minutes (including a 5-minute warm up and cool down). The participants will complete four, 4-minute, high-intensity intervals at 85-95% of VO2peak. The work period intervals will be interspersed with three, 3-minute periods of active recovery at an intensity below that of their ventilatory threshold.

Usual Care

The usual care group will not receive an intervention, and they will be asked to maintain baseline physical activity levels throughout the observation period.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
