What is CAPABLE?

Cross-Training and Physical Activity: A Better Life Experience is a program created by researchers at Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University (WSU) to help adult cancer survivors meet exercise and strength-training recommendations supported by the American Cancer Society (ACS). ACS recommends that cancer survivors avoid inactivity and resume their normal physical activities after a diagnosis as soon as their doctor deems it safe.

Tailored to evaluate and promote the benefits of exercise on the well-being of survivors, this program runs for 12 weeks and is free to qualifying cancer survivors. Exercises include interval training, strength training and conditioning workouts of simple movements performed at scalable levels for each participant.
