Brief Summary

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

The aim is to analyze the feasibility and effect of an online Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme (TEEP) in cancer patient and survivors

Detailed Description

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

Current literature shows that Therapeutic Exercise has multiple benefits in oncology patients, such as improvements in function and quality of life, and ameliorates symptoms such as cancer-related fatigue. Furthermore, given the risk of obesity, both exercise and diet play a key role in recovery from cancer. In fact, current guidelines support the use of exercise with therapeutic purposes as a complement to cancer treatment.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, oncology patients present more difficulties to attend programs, as the vast majority are immunosuppressed, and they are considered risk population. Therefore, new online (TEEP) must be developed to facilitate the benefits of these programs in the post-COVID Era. This study analyses the feasibility (in terms of suitability and verification of exercise prescription, absence and attendance type, and total days of attendance) and the effect (in weight, physical function, and symptoms) in cancer patients and survivors.

Experimental

The sample will receive of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic Exercise and Education

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention will consist of 30 minutes of strength exercises followed by 20 minutes of endurance with aerobic training, individualized based on the evaluations of muscular strength and endurance. Sessions lasted 1 hour, carried out twice a week, for 12 weeks. This intervention will be complemented by nutritional education.

Control

Subjects will be told to continue with their normal activity of daily living. After the intervention in the experimental group, the control group will be offered intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
