Resistance training for older cancer survivors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specialized strength-training program delivered online can help older adults who've finished cancer treatment regain physical function and independence. You'd participate in exercise sessions from home over several months to see if the program improves your ability to do everyday activities.
