Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Exercise GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
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 II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
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.
