Overview
Brief Summary
The aim is to analyse the effect of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme in several clinical and functional outcomes in cancer patient and survivors
Detailed Description
In the oncology field, both patients and survivors have to face several symptoms, like cancer-related fatigue or pain. Cancer patients also have affected quality of life, lower levels of function and they are at higher risk of weight gain following diagnosis. Given the risk of obesity, both exercise and diet play a key role in recovery from cancer. Hence, the aim of this study is to show the effect of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme (TEEP) in clinical and functional, including practical nutritional education in other clinical and functional secondary outcomes in cancer patients and survivors. Variables included are: body composition, mediterranean-diet adherence, quality of life (QoL) and functional outcomes (limb functionality, physical activity, physical function and handgrip strength). Furthermore, laboratory variables like muscle thickness (ecography) and muscle activity (electromyography) were included.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •In the case of survivors: Patient who had been surgically treated for their primary tumour with no evidence of recurrence at the time of recruitment. The inclusion of patients undergoing hormonal treatment radiotherapy or antiHER therapy will be allowed.
- •In the case of cancer patients: patient who had been dignosed by cancer.
- •In both cases, all participants have to maintain the minimum physical function to perform exercise in group.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients were excluded if they had suffered any cardiovascular event defined as stable or unstable angor, acute pulmonary edema, cardiac rhythm disorders, or syncope of cause not affiliated in the year prior to inclusion
