- Enrollment rates will be calculated among those who respond to notices about the study and adherence to the program among those who enroll and to describe reported barriers to participation among respondents who do not ultimately enroll
- measure
- Change in functional performance and variability in functional performance among adult cancer survivors enrolled in a high-intensity functional training program
- timeFrame
- Baseline to 12 weeks
- description
- Physical measures of strength will be assessed by a certified trainer. To assess strength improvements deadlifts (lifting weights from floor to waist) will be performed in 10 lb. increments. A circuit will also be done with strength measures including sit ups and push ups.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years or older at time of program recruitment * Diagnosed with any cancer * Cleared from their physician to participate in the program (We assume that most patients will have completed treatment, however if a patient is currently under treatment, this should be their oncologist. If the patient is not currently undergoing treatment, this could be primary care physician or oncologist). * Available transportation to and from the facility on session days Exclusion Criteria * Widely metastatic cancers to the brain or bone may be excluded. * Patients using mobility assistance devices may be excluded. Exclusionary criteria will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and patients with these limitations may be included with approval from Dr. Beebe-Dimmer and the referring physician.
