Detailed Description

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

This feasibility trial aims to assess a home-based exercise program, including a 3-month intervention of structured physical activity and health education for individuals with breast or prostate cancer. The main objective of this trial is to assess the adherence of cancer patients to a program of structured exercise, mixed with a health education approach, implemented and accompanied in a remote approach.

The data collection will include variables related to: (a) recruitment and retentions rates; (b) attendance to exercise sessions; (c) fatigue and quality of life levels; (d) functional capacity levels; (e) adverse events related or not to the study; (f) patient selected outcomes.
