Ismail Center to offer fall exercise program for cancer survivors

August 21, 2015  


Purdue's A.H. Ismail Center in partnership with the Lafayette YWCA is offering a cancer survivor exercise program.

The eight-week Cancer Wellness Program is a group physical activity program that will emphasize instruction in cardiorespiratory fitness, strength and flexibility training. The 60-minute classes will meet from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays beginning Aug. 31 at the center’s Adult Fitness Studio in Lyles-Porter Hall.

The program is open to the Purdue and Greater Lafayette communities for a fee of $50. Parking in the Harrison Street Garage or street parking is available, and no parking permit is needed after 5 p.m.

A health history questionnaire and medical clearance will be required for all participants, and a pre- and post-physical assessment will be offered in the first and last week of the fall session. As part of the program, the Department of Health and Kinesiology will be conducting an ongoing assessment looking at changes in psychosocial well-being of the target population based on participation in a group physical activity program. The assessment is voluntary and will require informed consent for participation in the study.
