Exercise and cancer survivors

What is it about?

The purpose of this single-arm pilot study was to examine the effects of a community-based multimodal exercise program on: physical function (Timed-Up-and-Go [TUG], 6-min walk test [6MWT], leg and chest press strength, and functional reach [FR]); and quality of life, QoL [FACTG]), in cancer survivors.

Why is it important?

Cancer and subsequent medical treatment can profoundly impact patients’ physical function and QoL. Meaningful improvements in physical function and QoL can be attained by participating in multimodal community-based exercise programs.
