简要总结
The aim is to analyze the feasibility and effect of an online Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme (TEEP) in cancer patient and survivors
详细描述
Current literature shows that Therapeutic Exercise has multiple benefits in oncology patients, such as improvements in function and quality of life, and ameliorates symptoms such as cancer-related fatigue. Furthermore, given the risk of obesity, both exercise and diet play a key role in recovery from cancer. In fact, current guidelines support the use of exercise with therapeutic purposes as a complement to cancer treatment.
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, oncology patients present more difficulties to attend programs, as the vast majority are immunosuppressed, and they are considered risk population. Therefore, new online (TEEP) must be developed to facilitate the benefits of these programs in the post-COVID Era. This study analyses the feasibility (in terms of suitability and verification of exercise prescription, absence and attendance type, and total days of attendance) and the effect (in weight, physical function, and symptoms) in cancer patients and survivors.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental
The sample will receive of a Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme
干预措施: Therapeutic Exercise and Education (Other)
Control
Subjects will be told to continue with their normal activity of daily living. After the intervention in the experimental group, the control group will be offered intervention.
结局指标
主要结局
Suitability of exercise intensity
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Patients are asked before each session to mark in a numerical scale how are they feeling that day to push themselves and get their session well done. From 0 (very well) to 10 (very badly). Higher scores mean a worse feeling.
Verification of exercise intensity
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Patients are asked to score the feeling of perceived effort after the session with the Borg Perceived Exertion scale (6-20). Higher scores mean a worse perceived exertion.
Total attendance
时间窗: After intervention, an average of 3 months
Total of days of attendance
Absence type
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Reasons of absence, categorized as: personal matter, visit the oncology, medical appointment (no related to oncology treatment), health problem, connection problem or unknown.
Attendance type
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Attendance type, categorized as: full attendance, partly attendance because of lack of time, partly attendance because of internet connection problem
次要结局
- Change from Upper limb functionality (%)(prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
- Change from Quality of life (self-reported questionnaire)(prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
- Change from Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF)(Prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
- Change from Functional capacity(prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
- Change from Lower limb functionality (%)(prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
- Change from specific Breast Cancer Quality of life (self-reported questionnaire)(prior and after intervention, an average of 3 months)
