Official title
Safety and Efficacy of Home-based Resistance Training in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Despite a robust literature on the benefits of exercise for cancer survivors, most of the research to date falls in two primary areas - aerobic exercise and breast cancer survivors. The focus on aerobic training alone is a concern as resistance training is critical for building the muscle mass necessary to maintain physical function. However, concerns have been raised about the potential for higher than tolerated adverse event rates during resistance training, particularly that which is unsupervised, despite a history of safe use of resistance training in other chronically diseased patient populations. The aim of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility, safety and quality of life benefit of a home-based resistance-training program among colorectal cancer survivors. The investigators will recruit n=30 men and women with stage I-III colon cancer. Participants will be randomized to a home-based exercise intervention that combines aerobic and resistance exercise. Control arm participants will receive a home-based meditation program.
