EXErcise Regimen Designed to Improve Functional Mobility, Body Composition, and Strength After Treatment for Cancer

Allegheny Singer Research Institute (also known as Allegheny Health Network Research Institute)100 enrolled

Overview

This protocol seeks to analyze patient outcomes of the standard of care, monitored group exercise regimen of high-load resistance training and functional exercises with compound movements under close supervision on individuals who have been treated for cancer.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Determine changes in fat mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen via bioimpedance analysis

Measurement on bioimpedance analysis machine (Inbody 970)

Time frame: 3 months

Determine changes in fat mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen via ultrasound

Measurement via ultrasound and calculation with Jackson-Pollack calculations

Time frame: 3 months

Determine changes in muscle mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen

Measurement on bioimpedance analysis machine (Inbody 970)

Time frame: 3 months

Secondary Outcomes

Determine changes in overall score of functional movement screen (FMS) from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen

Time frame: 3 months

Determine changes in Y-balance score for each leg

Y-balance score adds up the distance each leg can move in the front and side directions, divided by the length of the hip. This correlates inversely with fall risk.

Time frame: 3 months

Determine changes in strength via load measured in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen

Load is calculated by multiplying sets by repetitions by weight lifted for a specific exercise

Time frame: 3 months

Determine changes in EQ-5D responses 1-5 and overall score from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen
