Eligibility Criteria
Individuals diagnosed with cancer on an exercise program at the AHN Exercise Oncology and Resiliency Center
You may qualify if:
- Age 20-89 years
- Women of child-bearing potential must verbally confirm lack of pregnancy prior to enrollment. They should also consent to use adequate contraception during the course of the study.
- Participants must be determined capable of engaging in resistance training by exercise personnel and/or study PI
- Participants must complete an assessment by EOC staff and be determined safe to engage in the workout regimen by the study exercise personnel.
- Individuals not deemed safe to participate in the standard EOC exercise program will be referred to physical therapy or elsewhere
You may not qualify if:
- \. Severe arthritic, joint, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal condition that would interfere with exercise program
