Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the impact of a supervised 12-week high-intensity aerobic interval exercise program (versus a self-directed exercise usual care group) on traditional and novel cardiovascular disease risk factors and surrogate markers of cardiovascular- and overall-mortality in a population-based sample of testicular cancer survivors.

Inclusion Criteria

  • histologically confirmed history of testicular cancer

Exclusion Criteria

  • Not sufficiently ambulatory to complete the first two stages of the aerobic exercise test.
  • Have a psychiatric condition which impairs their ability to perform the required volume and intensity of exercise.
  • Have any uncontrolled cardiovascular condition (i.e. heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmia).
  • Report performing any weekly vigorous intensity aerobic exercise in the past month.
