Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Supportive Care (exercise/nutrition program)
- description
- 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.

Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Proportion of patients still on study (Feasibility)
- timeFrame
- At the end of the 12 week intervention
- description
- Feasibility will be defined as the proportion of patients still on study at the end of the 12 weeks intervention. The feasibility rate will be estimated using a 90% credible region obtained by Jeffrey's prior method. The lower bound will define a plausible lower limit for true (unobserved) feasibility rate. Will be summarized using the appropriate descriptive statistics and graphical summaries. Continuous variables will be summarized using the mean, median, standard deviation, and percentiles. Categorical variables will be summarized using frequencies and relative frequencies.
