Group Exercise Classes
The exercise program to be implemented for rural cancer survivors will combine aerobic, resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises delivered in a circuit-type class setting or group personal training format, twice weekly for a 12-week period. If public health restrictions require closure of fitness facilities due to COVID-19, the program will be delivered online. If facilities are open, the sessions will be integrated in the community, delivered in-person. Whether delivered in-class or remotely, the program follows exercise progression principles (ie, frequency, intensity, time, type, overload and progression) over the 12-weeks, with tailoring of any exercise to meet individual participant needs as required, in order to promote fitness and wellness benefits. The exercise intervention is based on the Alberta Cancer Exercise (ACE) program.
