Summary
This study looks at whether a one-year, home-based exercise program can help people aged 60 and older who are undergoing cancer treatment. Participants will be split into two groups: one doing guided exercises at home, and the other receiving usual care. Researchers will measure walking speed, balance, muscle strength, and quality of life to see if exercise helps them stay independent and feel better.
