Study Summary

This trial aims to study the effects of excess body fat on fitness, hormone levels, and metabolic responses in cancer survivors. The study will include overweight, obese, and normal weight survivors of breast, prostate

Who is the study for?

This trial is for breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer survivors who are overweight or obese. They should have finished their cancer treatments between 6 months and 5 years ago and must be able to do supervised exercise with a doctor's clearance.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how body fat affects fitness levels and the body's response to a standardized 15-week aerobic exercise program in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not drug-related, potential side effects from the aerobic exercise may include muscle soreness, fatigue, joint pain, or injury due to increased physical activity.
