This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a structured exercise program can help melanoma patients feel less tired and improve their overall quality of life while undergoing immunotherapy or targeted therapy. You would participate in twice-weekly supervised online exercise sessions led by a sports specialist for 12 weeks, plus one optional weekly session on your own. The research team will measure fatigue, fitness, thinking skills, and blood markers to understand how exercise affects your body's metabolism and immune function.
Cancer treatment can cause severe fatigue and reduce quality of life, and there are limited proven ways to manage these side effects. This trial is exploring whether exercise could be a safe and effective way to help patients feel better and stay stronger during this medication.

You would start with a baseline assessment at the clinic. If randomly assigned to the exercise group, you would attend two supervised online exercise sessions per week (60 minutes each) for 12 weeks, led by a sports specialist; three of these sessions would be held in person at the clinic. You would also be encouraged to do a 20-minute self-guided workout once weekly at home. The control group receives usual care without structured exercise. After 12 weeks, everyone returns to the clinic for reassessment, then enters a 6-week follow-up period with no supervised exercise, and finally has a last clinic visit for final measurements.
