EXCEL-Punjabi: A Culturally Tailored Exercise Oncology Pilot Feasibility Intervention

The goal of this pilot feasibility study is to explore the feasibility and exploratory effects of a culturally-tailored exercise oncology intervention in Punjabi-speaking individuals of South Asian heritage and their support persons. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility and acceptability of the EXCEL-Punjabi intervention? 2. What are the exploratory effects (i.e., psychosocial and physical changes) before and after program delivery? Participants will take part in a 12-week exercise oncology intervention consisting of twice weekly hour long multimodal circuit-based exercise sessions. They will also complete questionnaires and functional fitness assessments pre- and post- intervention.
