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
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.
Adherence	24 weeks	Minutes on each training session were recorded to control the adherence.
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.
