Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this project is to help to manage the many cancer treatment side effects through cardiovascular and resistance exercise, and education with the goal of using program outcomes to contribute to current research.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a single group pre-test post-test design.There are 4 optional measures that will be presented to participants from which they can choose to participate or not. These are presented with check boxes in the consent form. After completion of the University of Waterloo (UW) WELL-FIT program, participants will be given an option to continue with an exercise program; they will be offered the Graduate Program. Following consent of Graduate Program, repeated measures would be taken annually. At the time of consent, they will have the option to have their data used in research. At any point in their involvement of the exercise based programs, they can indicate "they no longer want to participate in the program or the data collection". Their medical care or participation in the UW WELL-FIT program will not be affected.
