What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week supervised community-based exercise and nutrition program aimed at improving the physical activity and dietary habits of cancer survivors. Participants engage in aerobic and resistance exercises twice a week, along with weekly nutrition education sessions. The study also assesses changes in exercise self-efficacy, functional performance, and quality of life. Data collected will help determine the program's impact on survivors' overall health and well-being.
