Brief summary
This protocol seeks to analyze patient outcomes of the standard of care, monitored group exercise regimen of high-load resistance training and functional exercises with compound movements under close supervision on individuals who have been treated for cancer.
Interventions
OTHERDose escalated resistance training
All individuals will be engaging in resistance training during and/or after their cancer treatment

Inclusion criteria
1. Age 20-89 years 2. 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. 3. Participants must be determined capable of engaging in resistance training by exercise personnel and/or study PI 4. Participants must complete an assessment by EOC staff and be determined safe to engage in the workout regimen by the study exercise personnel. 5. Individuals not deemed safe to participate in the standard EOC exercise program will be referred to physical therapy or elsewhere
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Determine changes in fat mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen via bioimpedance analysis | 3 months | Measurement on bioimpedance analysis machine (Inbody 970) |
| Determine changes in fat mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen via ultrasound | 3 months | Measurement via ultrasound and calculation with Jackson-Pollack calculations |
| Determine changes in muscle mass in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen | 3 months | Measurement on bioimpedance analysis machine (Inbody 970) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Determine changes in overall score of functional movement screen (FMS) from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen | 3 months | Determine changes in overall score of functional movement screen (FMS) from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen |
| Determine changes in Y-balance score for each leg | 3 months | Y-balance score adds up the distance each leg can move in the front and side directions, divided by the length of the hip. This correlates inversely with fall risk. |
| Determine changes in strength via load measured in pounds from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen | 3 months | Load is calculated by multiplying sets by repetitions by weight lifted for a specific exercise |
| Determine changes in EQ-5D responses 1-5 and overall score from before to after the nutrition and exercise regimen | 3 months | EQ-5D asks 5 questions rates from 1-5 and an overall rating of health |
