Summary

This trial will see if cancer survivors who do a cross-training program improve more in functional performance, body composition, and quality of life compared to those who follow the American Cancer Society guidelines.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cancer survivors who are 18 or older and have been diagnosed with invasive cancer. They must be cleared by their doctor to join the program, which could include those currently in treatment or those who've finished. Participants need a way to get to the facility on session days.

What is being tested?

The study tests a 12-week cross-training program against current American Cancer Society guidelines for cancer survivors. It aims to see if this new approach can better improve functional performance, body composition, and quality of life.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is an exercise-based intervention rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and potential injury from physical activity. The intensity will be tailored to each participant's ability.
