Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Exercise-oncology is an emerging area, but exist a lack of information about an effective methodology to establish counseling programs long-lasting and not based on research objectives. This observational study objective was to evaluate the feasibility and effective exercise-oncology community intervention in a real patients sample.

- description
- The exercise program consisted of a 12-week supervised intervention, with twice per week sessions of 90 minutes, and was developed in a friendly and close environment, which promoted social interaction between participants. Apart from the twice-weekly supervised sessions, as early as the fifth week, one or two individualized home-based sessions were established for each patient in order to achieve his/her specific objectives with the help of any required supporting material such as documents and video references with exercise examples. All sessions had the same structure: 10 min of warm-up at 60-70% maximal heart rate (MHR), followed by 60-70 minutes of specific training and 10 minutes of stretching exercises. At least, 20% of the total session time was based on cardiovascular work over 70% of the maximum heart rate (MHR)
