Summary

Like other cancer treatments, radiation therapy can make people feel fatigued, or tired. The investigators think that moderate exercise, done 15 minutes at a time, can reduce the fatigue. This study is designed to gather more information, so that in the future, doctors can recommend whether patients should engage in exercise during a radiation treatment course.

Conditions

  • Cancer Related Fatigue

Interventions

OTHER

Moderate Exercise

Aerobic training utilizing the portable stationary pedal exerciser (Pedlar) which contains two cycling pedals mounted to a stationary block that allows patients to exercise while sitting. Participants are required to perform 15 minutes/day of aerobic exercise using the Pedlar device on radiation treatment days; during a standard radiation course, this will typically yield 75 minutes/week of aerobic time.
