Phase I Randomized Controlled Trial of Functional Resistance Training in Older Cancer Survivors: The ACES Trial
Sponsor: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
Summary
The study will assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of live, online supervised group functional resistance training in older cancer survivors who may have difficulty with independent functioning. The study design is a three-arm parallel group randomized controlled trial (immediate resistance training, delayed resistance training, stretching placebo) in 150 older cancer survivors. The resistance training program will be compared to two different types of common control groups: a stretching placebo group and a delayed intervention group. By using two control conditions, this study can also inform the design of future randomized trials on the selection of an appropriate control group.

Conditions
Interventions
Functional Resistance Training
Participants attend live, online supervised group functional resistance training sessions of low-to-moderate intensity exercises, three times per week, 45 minutes per session for 16 weeks.
Stretching
Participants attend live, online supervised group stretching and relaxation training sessions three times per week, 45 minutes per session for 16 weeks.
Delayed Functional Resistance Training
Participants will receive educational information about healthy lifestyle behaviors and receive monthly check in calls from study staff. After 16 weeks, participants attend live, online supervised group functional resistance training sessions of low-to-moderate intensity exercises, three times per week, 45 minutes per session for 16 weeks.
