This protocol seeks to analyze patient adherence and outcomes after monitored exercise sessions utilizing primarily weighted sled pushes and pulls for linearly progressed resistance training of individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Age 20-89 years
Women of child-bearing potential must verbally confirm lack of pregnancy prior to enrollment. They should also consent to use adequate contraception during the course of the study.
Participants must be determined capable of engaging in resistance training by exercise personnel and/or study PI and must be able to stand.
Participants must complete an assessment by EOC staff and be determined safe to engage in the workout regimen by the study exercise personnel. Any individuals not deemed safe to participate in the basic EOC exercise program will be referred to physical therapy or elsewhere
Severe arthritic, joint, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal condition that would interfere with exercise program
Individuals deemed able to engage in more intense resistance training utilizing compound movements will not be eligible
Pregnant women
Individuals diagnosed with cancer on an exercise program at the AHN Exercise Oncology and Resiliency Center
Cohort
Prospective
Not listed
Change in Adipose Tissue (InBody, kg)
Change in adipose tissue (kg) pre and post resistance training regimen measured via InBody 970 bioelectrical impedance analysis
Change in Adipose Tissue (Ultrasound, Lbs)
Change in adipose tissue (pounds) pre and post resistance training regimen measured via ultrasound.
Change in Muscle Mass
Changes in percent muscle mass (measured by InBody bioelectrical impedance analysis) and percent fat-free mass (measured by ultrasound) from baseline to six months
Intervention Compliance Rate during Exercise Program (Adherence)
Percentage of exercise sessions attended by each participant
Feasibility of the Exercise Program
Tracking of participant completion status.
Adverse Events (Safety)
Changes in Timed Up and Go Test Performance at baseline and post-exercise assessment
An individual stands from a chair, walks ten feet and back, and then sits down. This is timed and recorded in seconds.
