Physical Activity for Reduction of Recurrence Rate After Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Localised Colorectal Carcinoma

Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Carcinoma
Interventions
Other: Physical exercise
Registration Number
NCT01210313
Lead Sponsor
Austrian Breast & Colorectal Cancer Study Group
Brief Summary

* feasibility of physical activity

* increase of physical conversation

* Quality of Life (optional)

* vascular and metabolic effects

Detailed Description

In this phase II pilot project the feasibility of a defined medical physical activity should be verified for increased physical conversation. The study is conducted multicentric (single group) with a study population of 30 patients. After completion of adjuvant chemotherapy the patients will participate a defined physical training, 3 times per week within a time period of 52 weeks. Planned study duration 2 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of Physical Activity After 12 Weeks (3 Months)3 months

Evaluation of the feasibility measured in terms of training adherence during the first 12 weeks measured in actual participant-weeks in relation to the 360 planned participant-weeks during cycle 1 (week 1 to week 12)

Feasibility of Physical Activity After 26 Weeks (6 Months)6 months

Evaluation of the feasibility measured in terms of training adherence during the weeks 13 to 26 measured in actual participant-weeks in relation to the planned 420 participant-weeks during cycle 2 (week 13 to week 26)

Feasibility of Physical Activity After 52 Weeks (12 Months)12 months

Evaluation of the feasibility measured in terms of training adherence during the weeks 27 to 52 measured in actual participant-weeks in relation to the planned 780 participant-weeks during cycle 3 (week 27 to week 52)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Exercise Ergometry Activity After 12 Weeks (3 Months)3 months

Evaluation by exercise ergometry and descriptively compared with the planned exercise ergometry after 12 weeks; measured in mean METs (metabolic equivalent of task) per week in relation to the planned mean 10 METs during cycle 1 (week 1 to week 12)

Exercise Ergometry Activity After 26 Weeks (6 Months)6 months

Evaluation by exercise ergometry and descriptively compared with the planned exercise ergometry after 26 weeks; measured in mean METs (metabolic equivalent of task) per week in relation to the planned mean 15 METs during cycle 2 (week 13 to week 26)

Exercise Ergometry Activity After 52 Weeks (12 Months)12 months

Evaluation by exercise ergometry and descriptively compared with the planned exercise ergometry after 52 weeks; measured in mean METs (metabolic equivalent of task) per week in relation to the planned mean 18 METs during cycle 3 (week 27 to week 52)
