About

The "CHOICE!" study is an exercise program following the recommendation of the American College of Sports Science for cancer patients. The aims of the intervention are to test the safety and feasibility of a structured program, letting patients choose the modality of delivery. Secondary endpoints include exercise health-related skills and quality of life. The program considers the preferences of exercise of cancer survivors, giving the possibility to choose the exercise modality (autonomous, with a personal trainer or group class). This program will be tested in different cancer populations with different study designs based on different patients cohort (i.e., RCT or single-arm).
