Exercise Program in Cancer and Cognition

The intervention is moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. Walking on a motorized treadmill will be the encouraged mode of exercise; however participants may use other equipment or home exercise. Participants will begin by exercising 10-15 minutes for 3 days/week during the first 2 weeks and gradually increase the duration for the following 4 weeks until they reach 40-50 minutes per session/3 days per week. This level is then maintained for the remainder of the 6 months. The rate of increase will be tailored based on baseline cardiorespiratory fitness and response to exercise. All sessions start and end with a vital sign check (in-person) and 5-10 minutes warm-up/cool-down. Trained exercise physiologists will supervise all exercise sessions and closely monitor adherence, intensity, and safety when sessions are completed in-person, or through regular communication when home-based exercise is warranted (due to COVID-19).
