Week	Objective	Method
1–2	Learn proper exercise technique	Patients carried out 3 sets of 15 repetitions (reps) with a load that would guarantee proper execution [55]. In the case of bone metastasis, adaptations were made whenever there were increased symptoms during performance. Furthermore, in patients with lower levels of function (subgroup B and C), the TE program started with isometric exercises [56].
2–4	Target exercise dose	Patients carried out 4 sets of 10 repetitions (10-RM), with an estimated intensity of 75% 1-RM [57]. Repetitions were set at a speed of 24 bpm, controlled by a metronome. If the patient could perform more than 12 reps in 30 s while maintaining proper execution, the weight to be lifted was increased [55]. Patients learned both deceleration and loss of motor control as a sign of muscle fatigue [58].
12–14	Ensure learning and behavior change	Patients were informed about changes and progression since starting, to make them aware of their improvement. Personal adaptations and self-perceptions were discussed to empower patients for positive long-term exercise behavior.
