Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of exercise therapy for patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for primary gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer, providing a reproducible exercise regimen designed to improve or preserve aerobic fitness, strength, and quality of life. In addition, this study will address shifts in healthcare delivery needed as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, evaluating the effectiveness of telehealth instruction as a method for exercise therapy.
The study hypotheses are:
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise therapy for cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment when delivered via telehealth, as compared to an in-person setting.
2. To assess stair test instrumentation, previously validated in a healthy population, as a measure to gauge health status in cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment.
3. To assess patient satisfaction with exercise therapy when delivered via telehealth, as compared to an in-person setting.

Detailed Description:
After being informed about the study and potential risks and benefits, all patients meeting inclusion criteria who provide written informed consent will be randomized at the time of enrollment to one of two cohorts engaged in a standardized exercise regimen based on delivery method, either in-person or via telehealth. Patient function will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test; Stairs Test; which evaluates aerobic ability, resistance, agility, balance, and posture; and given a score on the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale. Patient quality of life will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) survey. Outcomes for the cohorts will be compared over time.
