Summary

This project is made possible through the Pediatrics Department of the University Hospital of Salamanca, in collaboration with researchers specialized in therapeutic exercise from other clinical trials and research projects, alongside physical therapists experienced in designing, programming, and supervising therapeutic exercise programs.

Furthermore, the project addresses current healthcare needs, as a significant portion of the patient population exhibits symptoms that impair functional capacity and overall quality of life-driven both by age and the oncological disease and its treatment. Consequently, this initiative aims to implement a strength training program to foster beneficial outcomes across various aspects of these patients' health, while sharing the findings with the scientific community.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Supervised training

Supervised Strength Exercise Sessions: There will be two weekly sessions, each lasting 50 minutes. Each session consists of three well-defined parts:Warm-up: 10 minutes of global strength and aerobic exercises at an estimated 60% of VO2max, focusing on the primary areas to be worked on during that session.Strength Training: 6 strength exercises targeting the main muscle groups, with a duration of 30 minutes. The initial load will be set between 40-70% of the estimated 1-RM (to be assessed in the first session and based on the patient's individual characteristics). When the participant is able to complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions with the established weight in two consecutive sessions, the weight will be increased by 10%. Cool-down/Stretching: 10 minutes of a combination of breathing exercises and stretching of the main muscle groups.

OTHER

Home training

Participants will complete four weekly home-based exercise sessions, which will not coincide with the supervised training days. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes, and they will complete two sets of five exercises-primarily light strength work-with one minute of work and one minute of rest. Additionally, all participants will be required to walk for 60 minutes every day of the week.
