Exercise

All intervention patients will participate in an individualized prescriptive exercise intervention 2 to 4 times per week for a period of the induction chemotherapy/in-hospital recovery. The exercise intervention will begin on week 1 of the study, the day after the first batteries of initial assessments are concluded. Each exercise session will be divided into two parts. One part will be administered in the morning and the second one late in the afternoon. There will be a period of rest of at least 36 hours between each exercise session.
