Resistance Exercise in Patients With Ocular Melanoma
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
Choroidal melanoma (CM) is one of the most common intraocular cancers worldwide. During treatment with episcleral brachytherapy, patients require a week of hospitalization in isolation. The primary aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of resistance training during hospitalization on health-related blood biomarkers in CM patients. Our secondary aim will be to assess changes in physical function tests, quality of life and anxiety and depression. Candidates for this study will be patients undergoing CM treatment at the "Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe" of Valencia.

Exercise
Daily session during hospitalization. To carry out the training session, elastic bands (TheraBand CLX Consecutive Loops; TheraBand, Akron, OH) with resistance graded from very low to very high (i.e, yellow, red, green, blue, black, silver and gold) will be used. On each day, each exercise will start with 3 sets of two repetitions as a warm-up and to calculate the appropriate intensity. The intensity will be that at which the patient reports a perceived exertion of 5-6 of 10 at the Borg CR10 scale after two repetitions. For each exercise, one set will be completed until task failure is achieved.If in any of the exercises the patient perceives this intensity only with the weight of his own limb or body weight, the exercise will be performed without elastic bands.
