Summary

The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility a 12-week virtually supported home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program progressing cancer survivors with Multiple Myeloma to meet standards identified in the 2019 Exercise Guidelines for Cancer Survivors.

The protocol will be measuring recruitment, adherence, completion, cost tracking, as well as fitness and quality of life outcomes. The study will be a single-group prospective before and after study that will help inform a future larger-scale project. We will aim to recruit 25 participants.

The Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta Cancer Committee will approve this study. Participants will participate in a combined resistance and aerobic exercise program biweekly for 12 weeks. Exercise sessions will be supported and progressive in nature, between 40 and 75 minutes each.

Analyses: fitness testing and quality of life scales will be administered before and after the intervention. Scores will be compared to evaluate changes over the course of the intervention. Safety and feasibility information will be collected throughout the study and evaluated to determine program feasibility. Program satisfaction will be evaluated using a satisfaction survey.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

Participants will participate in a 12-week virtually supported home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program, twice weekly using the Heal-Me application. Sessions will be completed as virtual live classes or supported follow-along independent home workouts. Sessions will progress in duration and difficulty over the course of the program, aiming to have participants meet the 2019 Exercise Guidelines for Cancer Survivors by the end of the program. Each session will include aerobic exercise (i.e. walking, cycling, or cardio circuit), and a full-body resistance training routine using free weights, body weight exercises, and/or bands, followed by balance and stretching exercises.
