An interventional study of Yoga and Stretching and Toning in Cancer, Cancer-related Problem/Condition and Exercise, sponsored by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 70 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-07-05.

The investigators propose to compare the effects of a 12-week, supervised, site-based group yoga intervention on cognitive function, functional fitness, and well-being in middle-aged cancer survivors. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three exercise conditions: a yoga group, an aerobic walking group or a strength training group. All sessions (2-3 times per week) will be led by a trained exercise leader for a total of 150 minutes of exercise each week for the 12-week intervention.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will be led through a beginner yoga course taught by a certified yoga instructor. Classes will meet twice a week for 75 minutes each for the duration of 12 weeks. Sessions will focus on yoga postures, breathing, and meditative practices and may utilize mats, blocks, belts, and blankets.
Behavioral: Yoga
This 12 week, progressive stretching and toning course will aid participants in building whole body strength and flexibility by utilizing weights, chairs, mats, and various other exercise equipment. Sessions will meet three times a week for 50 minutes and will offer 'easy' and 'hard' modifications taught by an exercise leader.
Behavioral: Stretching and Toning
Participants will partake in treadmill walking that encourages them to reach a pre-determined heart rate range. Sessions will be conducted three times a week for 50 minutes, and offer participants to self-select a speed and incline to meet their target heart rate zone.
Behavioral: Aerobic Walking
