The Impact of Resistance ExerciSe on Muscle Mass in GlioblaSToma Survivors

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Glioblastoma Multiforme of Brain, Brain Cancer

In brief

Glioblastoma patients are confronted with a debilitating disease associated with a low survival rate and poor quality of life. The goal of this study will be to reach a largely underrepresented population in the exercise literature and explore the role of a tailored circuit-based resistance training program on functional fitness (i.e., ability to carry out tasks of daily living) and associated health outcomes (e.g., quality of life) for GBM patients on active treatment.
