Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiorrespiratory fitness | 24 weeks | 6 minutes walking test was performed in a 50 meter circuit. Meters completed during 6 minutes were recorded. |
| Strength - Chair Stand (repetitions) | 24 weeks | Chair stand test was performed. Number of repetitions performed during 30 seconds was recorded. |
| Flexibility | 24 weeks | Sit and Reach (centimeters): sitted and with stretched legs, the patient has to move a piece of wood on a bench. The centimeters moved by the patients are recorded |
| Incidence of treatments on quality of live assessed by EORTIC QLQ-C30 | 24 weeks | QLQ-C30 questionnaire with 30 items was used to record the quality of life of the patients. Each item has a scale from 1 to 4, being 1 the lowest and 4 the highest outcome. |
| Adherence | 24 weeks | Minutes on each training session were recorded to control the adherence. |
| Rating of perceived exertion | 24 weeks | A Borg Scale (1-10) was used to control the intensity of the sessions, being 1 the lowest intensity and 10 the highest intensity. |
| Strength - Hand Grip (Kilograms) | 24 weeks | Hand Grip (kilograms): a dynamometer (Grip Strength Dynamometer, Takker TKK, Tokio, Japón) was used to record hand grip. |
| Strength - Squat Jump (height in centimeters) | 24 weeks | Squat Jump (centimeters): a contact platform (Chronojump Boscosystem, Barcelona, Spain) was used to record the height of the jump in centimeters. |
