Summary

This clinical trial evaluates whether a supervised community-based exercise and nutrition program is usable and effective for improving cancer survivors' confidence for maintaining their physical activity and nutrition. Cancer survivors often experience problems with the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue), the cardiopulmonary system (heart, blood vessels and lungs) and the metabolic system (how the body's cells change food into energy) following treatment. There is substantial evidence that physical activity, diet, and weight management can improve quality of life (emotional and physical well-being) and physical fitness. Information gathered from this study may help researchers determine whether participating in a community-based exercise/nutrition training and education program may improve levels of fitness, cardiovascular health, and quality of life for cancer survivors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for cancer survivors who have completed treatment and are looking to improve their physical activity, nutrition, and overall quality of life. Specific eligibility criteria details were not provided.
What is being tested?
The study tests a community-based program combining exercise and nutritional education aimed at boosting fitness, heart health, and well-being in cancer survivors. It involves physical performance testing, medical device assessments, exercise routines, dietary plans, and questionnaires.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions include non-invasive activities such as exercise and nutrition programs rather than medications or surgeries, typical side effects might include muscle soreness or fatigue from physical activity.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Supportive Care (exercise/nutrition program)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients participate in a supervised, community-based exercise program consisting of aerobic and resistance exercise over 45-60 minutes BIW for 12 weeks. Beginning at week 2, patients also receive nutrition education and training QW for 10 weeks. Patients also wear an activity tracker throughout the study.
