Brief Summary

The aim is to analyze the feasibility and effect of an online Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme (TEEP) in cancer patient and survivors

Conditions

Cancer Metastatic; Cancer; Survivorship

Keywords

cancer; oncology; Metastasis; survivors; Exercise Therapy; Therapeutics; Complementary Therapies; covid-19

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Suitability of exercise intensity

  Patients are asked before each session to mark in a numerical scale how are they feeling that day to push themselves and get their session well done. From 0 (very well) to 10 (very badly). Higher scores mean a worse feeling.

  Through study completion, an average of 3 months

• Verification of exercise intensity

  Patients are asked to score the feeling of perceived effort after the session with the Borg Perceived Exertion scale (6-20). Higher scores mean a worse perceived exertion.

  Through study completion, an average of 3 months

• Total attendance

  Total of days of attendance

  After intervention, an average of 3 months

• Absence type

  Reasons of absence, categorized as: personal matter, visit the oncology, medical appointment (no related to oncology treatment), health problem, connection problem or unknown.

  Through study completion, an average of 3 months

• Attendance type

  Attendance type, categorized as: full attendance, partly attendance because of lack of time, partly attendance because of internet connection problem

  Through study completion, an average of 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Change from Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF)

  Prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months

• Change from Functional capacity

  prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months

• Change from Upper limb functionality (%)

  prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months

• Change from Lower limb functionality (%)

  prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months

• Change from Quality of life (self-reported questionnaire)

  prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months

Study Arms (2)

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

The sample will receive of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme

Other: Therapeutic Exercise and Education

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Subjects will be told to continue with their normal activity of daily living. After the intervention in the experimental group, the control group will be offered intervention.

Interventions

Therapeutic Exercise and Education OTHER

The intervention will consist of 30 minutes of strength exercises followed by 20 minutes of endurance with aerobic training, individualized based on the evaluations of muscular strength and endurance. Sessions lasted 1 hour, carried out twice a week, for 12 weeks. This intervention will be complemented by nutritional education.
