Onco Move - Improvement of Psychophysical Fitness in Adult Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport
Summary
The Onco Move project aims to assess the impact of a 16-week supervised multicomponent group exercise training program on the psychophysical well-being of individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. A total of 70 participants, aged 18-55, with various types of cancer, will be recruited for the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group (which will engage in the Onco Move exercise program) or a control group (usual care). Baseline measurements will be taken to assess their psychological, physiological, functional, and biochemical health. These tests will help determine the initial psychophysical health levels and the quality of life of the participants.The experimental group will undergo group exercise sessions three times a week at the Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, led by certified fitness instructors. The study will assess the effects of the program at three different time points: after 8 weeks, after 16 weeks, and 3 months after the completion of the program. The main objective is to investigate how regular Onco Move training influences the physical and psychological health of cancer patients, including their overall functional status, fitness, and quality of life.The findings will provide valuable insights into the positive psychophysical effects of group exercise training for cancer patients and contribute to developing a set of recommended physical activity and exercise forms for oncology patients during and after treatment. Additionally, the results will help in the creation of guidelines for recommending psychophysical exercises that could aid recovery and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
