Key result
A 5-week high-intensity functional training program in cancer survivors significantly improved body composition (body fat percentage -4.7 ± 1.2%, P<0.001) and functional movement.

May support short-term training in survivors; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
Does high-intensity functional training improve functional movement, body composition, and quality of life in adult cancer survivors?
A 5-week high-intensity functional training program is feasible and improves body composition, functional movement, and emotional functioning in cancer survivors.
Heinrich et al. (2015) studied Cancer survivors (n=8). High-intensity functional training (HIFT) was evaluated on Feasibility (initiation, adherence, acceptability) and efficacy (changes in health-related quality of life, body composition and functional movement). A 5-week high-intensity functional training program in cancer survivors significantly improved body composition (body fat percentage -4.7 ± 1.2%, P<0.001) and functional movement.
