The Impact of Resistance ExerciSe on Muscle Mass in GlioblaSToma Survivors
Sponsor: Nova Scotia Health Authority
Summary
Glioblastoma patients are confronted with a debilitating disease associated with a low survival rate and poor quality of life. The goal of this study will be to reach a largely underrepresented population in the exercise literature and explore the role of a tailored circuit-based resistance training program on functional fitness (i.e., ability to carry out tasks of daily living) and associated health outcomes (e.g., quality of life) for GBM patients on active treatment.

Circuit-based resistance exercise (CRT)
CRT is a common training method used to foster aerobic fitness, muscular endurance and strength, as well as neuromuscular adaptations in one workout. CRT is comprised of several sets of different exercises with little rest in between each set.
