This is a randomized control trial of Black and Hispanic patients who have been newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer and are being prescribed chemotherapy to determine the effects of home-based exercise on levels of physical activity. It will also evaluate the impact of home-based exercise on cardiovascular (heart health) risk factors.~The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations of body composition, blood tests, fitness and strength assessments, and surveys at study entry and follow-up visits.~Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) Supervised aerobic and resistance exercise (SUP), 2) Unsupervised aerobic and resistance exercise (UNSUP), or 3) Attention control (AC).~Participation is expected to last for 8 months.~It is expected that about 135 people will take part in this research study.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a 16 week, home-based, aerobic and resistance exercise intervention will increase physical activity levels in Black and Hispanic breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer patients.~The names of the study interventions involved in this study are:~Supervised aerobic and resistance exercise (SUP) - virtually supervised 16- week aerobic and resistance exercise performed at home via Zoom.~Unsupervised aerobic and resistance exercise (UNSUP) - home-based 16- week aerobic and resistance exercise.~Attention control (AC) - 16-week home-based stretching.
