Abstract :

Inroduction & ObjectiveColorectal cancer is third cancer incident in all of the world and Iran which is enhancing, unfortunately. Physical activity is one of the best effective interventions. The aim of this research was to investigate of concurrent training programme on aerobic capacity and lower body power of colorectal cancer survivors.Materials and Methods:20 colorectal cancer patients with average age 55.5±20 and average weight 70.9±9.35 participated at this survey. They randomly divided in two groups. Experimental group(EG) performed 14 week’s concurrent training programme which involved 3 days endurance training and 2days resistance training per week. Control group(CG) didn’t any training programme at this time. Lower body strength measured by 1RM and Aerobic capacity measured by VO2Max. To analyse the data T-test and Covariance were used. Results:On the base of results, significantly differences observed between EG and CG in VO2Max and lower body power variables (P ConclusionThe concurrent training programme probably is effective intervention for prevention of return of cancer which is able to improve physical capacities in colorectal cancer survivors.
