Summary

This trial studies how well progressive resistance training works in improving the physical function of sarcoma survivors. Treatments for sarcoma can cause side effects such as fatigue, muscle loss, and weakness, which can negatively impact a patient's ability to physically function and enjoy an independent lifestyle. Engaging in a resistance training exercise routine may improve physical function, body composition, and bone density of sarcoma survivors.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the feasibility of a home-based individualized progressive resistance training (PRT) program in sarcoma survivors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess secondary measures of feasibility of a home-based, individualized PRT program in sarcoma survivors. II. To determine if a 3-month PRT program improves physical function in sarcoma survivors. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine if a 3 month resistance training program improves body composition and bone mineral density. OUTLINE: Patients complete a series of progressive resistance training exercises at home twice weekly over 1 hour and receive instructional guidance from an exercise physiologist via videoconferencing once per week during one of these sessions for up to 12 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3 months.
