Exercise Group
Supervised, individualized exercise oncology program: Patients in the supervised exercise intervention group completed 12 weeks of prescribed, individualized exercise that aligned with ACSM exercise guidelines for cancer survivors. Total dose of exercise was one time weekly, with cardiovascular, resistance training, and flexibility components. Cardiovascular exercise was performed on a treadmill. The intensity level for the aerobic exercise began with 30 min at 30% of the individual's predicted VO2max, assessed by heart monitors. Each week, intensity was progressed until the participant reached 45%. Strength training involved a full body workout, with emphasis on all major muscle groups and employed machines, free weights, and tubing. Patients completed 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise. Each exercise program was individualized for each patient, but included the following resistance exercises: chest press, seated row, overhead press, leg extension, leg curl, leg press. Resistance intensity was set at a minimum of 30% of the individual's 1RM, or when the patient felt sufficiently fatigued after 10 repetitions completed with proper form. As the patient's RPE values decreased with each exercise, intensity was progressively increased, accordingly. Flexibility training involved static stretching of all major muscle groups for 15-20 seconds at the completion of each workout. Each session lasted approximately 60 minutes.

Supervised, individualized exercise oncology program: 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.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 12 weeksPopulation: Because the control group did not participate in the exercise program, we did not calculate an adherence rate for this group.
Exercise session adherence rate among the Exercise Group, collected from the Maple Tree Cancer Alliance participant records. Exercise session adherence rate was measured by dividing the total number of sessions scheduled by the total number of exercise sessions actually attended by the exercise group.
