Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Exercise Group:
The modular multi-modal physical exercise intervention program will comprise resistance (10-12-RM), aerobic (60-85% HRmax) and flexibility exercises undertaken 3 times per week for 3 months. Participants will be reassessed again at 6 months. Exercise training sessions will take approximately 60 minutes and will be conducted in small groups of up to 6 participants under supervision of an exercise physiologist
Intervention code [1] 283676 0

Usual Medical Care Group:
Participants will remain on their usual care for the initial 3 months, then will receive the multi-modal physical exercise intervention program will comprise resistance, aerobic and flexibility exercises undertaken 3 times per week for the second 3 months.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Written informed consent will be required prior to any testing or randomisation. Assignments will be placed in sealed opaque envelopes and designated colours will be assigned for each group. The subject will open these envelopes after completion of all baseline testing. Subjects who dropout prior to completion of baseline testing will not be randomised.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects are randomised after the baseline assessment has been completed to: 1. Exercise training or 2. Usual care control. Randomisation is at the level of the individual patient, and will be stratified by treatment status and location of metastases. The list will be generated and maintained by a research assistant not otherwise involved in the study. The sequential treatment assignments are based on a computer-generated randomisation scheme (by using the Web site www.randomization.com set up by Dr Gerard E. Dallal).
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
Different groups of participants receive different interventions during the same time span of the study, however the usual care group receive the intervention during after 3 months of usual treatment.
