Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcomes are body composition, physical function and fatigue. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes include physical activity and fitness, body mass index, dietary intake, health-related quality of life and symptoms related to ovarian cancer and its treatment (pain, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, neuropathy), anxiety and depression, blood samples, sleep disturbances and chemotherapy completion rates. Additionally, an extensive process evaluation will be conducted to examine how and why the intervention was (un)successful. Clinical parameters (e.g. FIGO stage, comorbidities and survival) will be collected from medical records. Blood will be drawn for future analyses to examine biological mechanisms linking exercise to clinical outcomes, such as reduced inflammation, improved immune function, vascularization and perfusion, and insulin-like growth factor-axis. | — |
