NCT03825913

Brief Summary

Our proposed study will focus on addressing the feasibility, safety and benefits of a 3-month exercise intervention among individuals diagnosed with melanoma. The study will be conducted at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Eligible participants (n=24) will be randomized into 3 months of wellness education (n=12) or structured exercise (n=12).

Study Arms (2)

Exercise Intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects in the exercise group will participate in a 3-month exercise program at the University of Miami UHealth Fitness and Wellness Center. Participants will complete two exercise sessions a week, each 45-60 minutes long and on a one-on-one basis. In addition to two site visits, the participants will receive a tailored daily home-based walking plan. The participants will use physical activity trackers (Fitbit®), with an ultimate goal of achieving 10,000 steps by the end of the intervention. Participants in the exercise intervention will complete 24 sessions.

Behavioral: Exercise Intervention

Wellness Intervention

SHAM COMPARATOR

For 3 months, the wellness education group will not be offered any form of supervised exercise program or receive any specific instructions on physical activity as part of the study. The participants in this group will attend educational sessions about different wellness topics, such as nutrition, sleep, weight management, mindfulness, and the overall benefits of increased physical activity. The wellness visits will be held two times per month, and similar to the exercise sessions of the intervention arm, they will be 45-60 minutes long and on a one-on-one basis. Participants in the wellness education group will complete 6 sessions.

Behavioral: Wellness Intervention

Interventions

Training sessions will include a split routine based on the day of the week. * Session 1 (e.g. Tuesday) - aerobic exercise (20-30 min) followed by resistance training (10 stacked-weight machines: leg press, leg extension, leg curl, chest press, latissimus pull, shoulder press, seated row, triceps press, biceps curl, and chest fly) for 1-2 sets of 8-12 repetitions. * Session 2 (e.g. Thursday) - resistance bands and body weight exercises (4-6 exercises, 2 sets of 10-20 repetitions) followed by core exercises (2-3 sets of 10-20 repetitions) and aerobic training (20-30 min) at the end. The starting training intensities will be at 50-55% of each individual's estimated maximum heart rate for aerobic exercise and one-repetition maximum for resistance training (assessed at baseline only for chest press and leg press). We plan a 5% monthly increase in the intensity to reach 65-70%% of one's maximum efforts by the end of the intervention.

Exercise Intervention

In our setting, ten lectures in nutrition, exercise and various complementary and integrative medicine topics (e.g. acupuncture and Chinese medicine, mindfulness, quality sleep, etc.) were implemented among non-cancer individuals and modified based on their feedback.
