Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to quantify the effects of aerobic exercise training compared to attention control on intermuscular adipose tissue in colorectal cancer survivors.
Interventions
- Behavioral Aerobic exercise
Moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise - Behavioral Progressive stretching
Statistic stretching of eight major muscle groups
Primary outcome measures
- Whole-Body Intermuscular Adipose Tissue [Time frame: up to Week 12]
