Summary

This study tested whether a flexible, personalized exercise program is practical for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Twenty-one adults with breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer took part. The main goal was to see if patients would join, attend, and stick with the exercise sessions. This is a small feasibility study, so it does not prove any health benefits yet.
