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:
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.

Aggregate and participant-level results are reported within publications, but there is no formal plan for external IPD sharing. With a small sample size from a specific cultural group, there may be risk of re-identification.
