Strength and interval training before cancer treatment
This study tests whether a mix of resistance (strength) training and high-intensity interval training (short bursts of hard exercise) can help people get stronger and healthier before starting cancer treatment. It takes place at Royal Derby Hospital and requires a commitment to attend about 8 sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
