Study Groups

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

Exercise Group

Patients will complete a 60-minute exercise session once per week for 12 weeks. The exercise sessions will be individualized to the patient's needs and fitness level by a trainer. A patient will work with the same trainer throughout the study, who will plan the patient's individualized exercise regimen, and who will provide one-on-one supervision for the duration of each 60-minute session. Each 60-minute session will include cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility training. The intensity level for the aerobic exercise ranges from 30-45% of the individual's predicted VO2max, controlled by heart monitors and lasting 30 min. Strength training will involve a full body workout, with emphasis on all major muscle groups and employing machines, free weights, and resistance tubing. Patients will complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each strength exercise. Flexibility training will involve static stretching of all major muscle groups for 15-20 seconds at the completion of each workout.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Supervised, individualized exercise oncology program

Intervention Type OTHER

The study intervention is a supervised, individualized exercise oncology program described in previous literature2,3,12 and provided by Maple Tree Cancer Alliance, a non-profit organization providing exercise training to individuals with cancer (https://www.mapletreecanceralliance.org/). This organization was founded in 2011 and currently operates in 9 hospitals serving Ohio and Pennsylvania, offering free exercise programs and nutritional guidance to approximately 500 patients annually to help relieve side effects related to cancer treatment.

Control Group

The control group will receive the current standard of care, which includes a resource guide with various options available to the cancer survivor. Within this guide are tips for healthy eating and pictures of standard exercises to improve fitness.
