ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called Onco Move, is studying how a special 16-week group exercise program can help improve the physical and mental well-being of adults who are currently undergoing cancer treatment or have finished treatment within the last five years. The program involves supervised exercise sessions three times a week, led by trained instructors, and aims to see if regular group exercise can boost fitness, mood, and overall quality of life for people living with cancer.

The study is looking for adults between the ages of 18 and 55 who have various types of cancer and who have been mostly inactive since their diagnosis. To join, participants need approval from their cancer doctor and must be willing to attend the exercise sessions regularly. Those who take part will have health assessments before starting, during, and after the program to track changes in their physical and mental health. The goal is to learn more about how exercise can support cancer recovery and help create clear guidelines for safe and effective physical activity during and after cancer treatment.
