Proposed terminology and definitions for describing the supportive care roles of exercise across the postdiagnosis cancer continuum.

Supportive Care Terminology	Supportive Care Description/Definition
Prehabilitation Exercise	Exercise after a cancer diagnosis and before the first cancer treatment to help patients improve functioning and better tolerate and recover from the impending treatment(s).
Intrahabilitation Exercise	Exercise during a nonsurgical cancer treatment to help patients maintain functioning and better manage (tolerate) the current treatment. Depending on when the nonsurgical treatment occurs in a treatment sequence, intrahabilitation may also include rehabilitation from any previous cancer treatment(s) and/or prehabilitation for any subsequent cancer treatment(s).
Interhabilitation Exercise	Exercise during a break between two sequential cancer treatments (or lines of therapy) to help patients recover from previous treatment(s) and/or prepare for subsequent treatment(s). Interhabilitation exercise may include both rehabilitation and prehabilitation goals.
Rehabilitation Exercise	Exercise after successful completion of curative cancer treatment(s) to help patients restore functioning and better recover from the treatment(s).
Perihabilitation Exercise	Exercise around a specific cancer treatment or line of treatments including before, during, between, and/or after to help patients prepare, manage, and/or recover from the treatment(s). Perihabilitation exercise may include prehabilitation, intrahabilitation, and rehabilitation goals.
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Exercise	Exercise after rehabilitation from successful curative cancer treatments to help patients improve their overall health and prevent secondary diseases/late effects during longer-term survivorship.
Palliative Exercise	Exercise after unsuccessful cancer treatments for progressive disease to help patients palliate disease symptoms and lingering treatment side effects.
