This study extends research findings on how exercise programs improve HRQoL in survivors of cancer to a real-world setting. Results indicate that clinical exercise programs should target reductions in CRF in survivors (during or after treatment) through improvements in physical fitness to improve HRQoL and that high attendance should be encouraged regardless of fitness changes.
