Exercise Classes for Colorectal Cancer
(ACE-Dose-CRC Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this pilot randomized, wait-list controlled study is to evaluate the effects of exercise dose in terms of frequency (1 vs. 2 days per week) in individuals on systemic treatment for colorectal cancer. The impact on the individual (physical function, quality of life, fatigue and other patient reported outcomes) as well as on health care utilization (cost to deliver, cost to individuals, savings and impact to the health care system) will be evaluated. In addition, assessments of immunological markers to better understand the biological impact of exercise dose on immunological markers will be explored.

- Group Exercise Classes
Trial Overview
The study compares two different amounts of supervised group exercise—either once or twice a week—to see how often exercising helps with physical function, quality of life, fatigue, and health care costs. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the groups.
How Is the Trial Designed?

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Arm 1 will be supervised by a CEP once a week (e.g. Tuesday or Thursday) at the ACCCC. The exercise program includes aerobic, strength and balance / flexibility exercises for 12 week.
Arm 2 will be supervised by a CEP twice a week (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday) at the ACCCC. The exercise program includes aerobic, strength and balance / flexibility exercises for 12 week.
