Pilot Study of a Progressive Exercise Program Among Lung Cancer Patient-Partner Dyads

Pilot study of an exercise program among patients with all stages of lung cancer examining
feasibility and acceptability. Preliminary outcomes include objective measures of physical
function, depression, adherence to lung cancer treatments, Quality of Life (QOL), and social
support.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the feasibility and acceptability of a progressive exercise program initiated
after lung cancer diagnosis among patient partner dyads.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Examine the preliminary effects of partnered exercise on physical function, depression,
adherence to lung cancer treatments, QOL and social support .

OUTLINE:

All participants complete questionnaires about their health status, physical activity habits
and relationship with their spouse/partner and undergo physical tests at baseline, and then 6
weeks and 12 weeks after the start of the exercise program.

EXERCISE PROGRAM: Participants complete a 12-week exercise program with their dyad-partners.
The exercise program consists of 3 weekly sessions (approximately 1-hour sessions) consisting
of either a supervised group exercise class or home-based, unsupervised exercise session via
an instructional DVD. Participants with lung cancer will also receive a physical activity
monitor to track changes in activity throughout the intervention.

Participants will complete a baseline, week 6 and week 12 assessment consisting of physical
tests and questionnaires

Inclusion Criteria:

- Mild depression symptoms

- Able to participate in exercise program per physician approval
