New Cancer Exercise Program Directory

Apr 30, 2025 08:36AM ● By Bernice Butler

Those living with and beyond cancer can now find accessible, customized exercise programs to aid in their recovery and rehabilitation. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Moving Through Cancer Program has released an expanded Exercise Program Directory for cancer survivors, caregivers, oncology clinicians and exercise professionals.

Listing more than 2,300 programs, it features the EXCEEDS algorithm, an evidence-based triage tool, allowing survivors to be matched with the type of programming that is most appropriate for their current functional ability, symptoms and goals. The programs are divided into four levels from the most to least specialized.

They include outpatient cancer rehabilitation (provided by a licensed therapist), clinical exercise programs (provided in a clinical setting), exercise oncology programs (provided in a community setting), or general exercise (traditional gym or home-based).
