Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The Onco Move project aims to assess the impact of a 16-week supervised multicomponent group exercise training program on the psychophysical well-being of individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. A total of 70 participants, aged 18-55, with various types of cancer, will be recruited for the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group (which will engage in the Onco Move exercise program) or a control group (usual care). Baseline measurements will be taken to assess their psychological, physiological, functional, and biochemical health. These tests will help determine the initial psychophysical health levels and the quality of life of the participants.The experimental group will undergo group exercise sessions three times a week at the Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, led by certified fitness instructors. The study will assess the effects of the program at three different time points: after 8 weeks, after 16 weeks, and 3 months after the completion of the program. The main objective is to investigate how regular Onco Move training influences the physical and psychological health of cancer patients, including their overall functional status, fitness, and quality of life.The findings will provide valuable insights into the positive psychophysical effects of group exercise training for cancer patients and contribute to developing a set of recommended physical activity and exercise forms for oncology patients during and after treatment. Additionally, the results will help in the creation of guidelines for recommending psychophysical exercises that could aid recovery and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

- Intervention Group
- description
- The intervention group will participate in a multicomponent face-to-face Onco Move exercise training programme for 16 weeks. The intervention will include three training sessions per week (each lasting 60 minutes), held in the fitness rooms and the gym at Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport in Poland. The intervention will include aerobic and strength exercises but also coordination/balance and flexibility, with warm-up and cool-down elements. The assessments will be conducted at four points: before the intervention, after 8 weeks, after 16 weeks, and 3 months after the intervention.

- Control Group
- description
- The control group will not participate in the exercise training intervention during the course of the project. However, it will take part in all the assessments just like the experimental group: before the intervention, after 8 weeks, after 16 weeks, and 3 months after the intervention. The control group will be allowed to participate in the training intervention after the Onco Move project has ended.
