PILOT for The Precision Exercise Regimen for Cancer Care (PERCC) Study
University of Utah
Summary
This study is designed to evaluate whether a precision exercise regimen is feasible to implement within cancer populations, specifically stage II-III primary lung cancer patients receiving multimodal therapy, and delivered through telehealth.
Description
This is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of the Precision Exercise Regimen for Cancer Care (PERCC) intervention in stage II and stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving multimodal therapy at the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah. Eligible patients will begin the intervention at the pre-treatment clinic visit and continue until approximately two months post-surgery. The PERCC intervention is a virtually supervised home-based exercise program. Participants will engage in exercise starting at least two weeks before receiving their first neoa…

PERCC has exercise modes including basic transfer and calisthenics mobility, aerobic, and resistance exercises, and will be performed in various postures (supine, sitting, standing, and walking) with variable challenges (level walking, bending, inclines, steps, and squatting). Each participant will complete one supervised, home-based exercise training session per week, delivered through telehealth, that will focus on the resistance exercise prescription. Other unsupervised exercise training sessions will focus on the aerobic exercise prescription and will be completed individually
