Brief Summary
AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic exercise program (PET) in cancer patients in improving the quality of life and the need for supervision by health professionals during the performance of same after 6 weeks of intervention. DESIGN: Randomized and controlled clinical trial, parallel groups with active control group. With masking of randomization, patient evaluation and analysis of the data. SUBJETS OF STUDY: 58 patients diagnosed with breast and colon cancer and treated up to 2 years later, both with surgery, chemotherapy and hormonal treatments (inhibitors of aromatase, tamoxifen). INTERVENTION: both groups the treatment will be a common work-based therapeutic exercise program aerobic, strength-resistance and self-stretching, in addition to a reinforcement in recommendations usual self-care. The study includes two phases, phase of supervised work and phase of tracing. One of the groups will be supervised in the realization of PET for a period of 6weeks and the other group will do it autonomously and without supervision. The patients will be followed for 1 year, with five blind evaluations: at the beginning of the study, after 6 weeks of intervention, 3, 6 and 12 months after the start of the study.MEASUREMENTS: Principal: Quality of life assessed with the questionnaire measured with the European questionnaire Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C-30 (EORTC QLQ-30). Pre-post intervention measure, 3, 6 and 12 months. Secondary: Cancer-related fatigue evaluated with the Functional Assessment of scale Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F). Pre-post Measurement intervention, 3, 6 and 12 months. Functional capacity measured with the Test 6 minutes walking test. Pre-post Measurement intervention, 3, 6 and 12 months. Valuation of the measured force with manual hydraulic dynamometer and 5- test repetition sit-to-stand. Pre-post intervention measure, 3, 6 and 12 months.COST: effectiveness and cost / incremental utility associated to the program wil be estimated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Changes in Health Related Quality of Life: EORTC QLQ-30
Quality of life assessed with the questionnaire measured with the European questionnaire Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C-30. (EORTC QLQ-30). The QLQ-C30 questionnaire is a specific questionnaire for cancer, it is composed of 30 questions or items that assess the quality of life in relation to physical, emotional, social aspects and in general the level of functionality of patients diagnosed with cancer. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire is assigned values between 1 and 4 (1: not at all, 2: a little, 3: a lot, 4: a lot) according to the patient's responses to the item, only in items 29 and 30 are assessed with score from 1 to 7 (1: bad, 7: excellent). The scores obtained are standardized and a score between 0 and 100 is obtained, 0 being the worst possible and 100 the best.
Basal, 1.5, 3, 6, 12 months follow up
Secondary Outcomes (3)

Study Arms (2)
Supervised exercise group
EXPERIMENTALSupervised intervention group: 3 weekly sessions of 1 hour during 6 weeks of therapeutic exercise in which aerobic physical activity will be combined with exercise strength of different muscle groups plus stretches on a supervised basis and strengthening of self-care.
Not supervised exercise group
ACTIVE COMPARATORUnsupervised intervention group: The same therapeutic exercise protocol will be scheduled which will be carried out autonomously without supervision with telephone tracking.
Interventions
6-week supervised educational program with 12-month follow-up compared to the same unsupervised intervention
