The median programme attendance was 87.5% (IQR: 75.0–91.7%). Participants completed 226 out of the 264 exercise sessions scheduled. Seven participants (63.6%) missed 26 exercise sessions due to treatment‐related symptoms (Median exercise compliance was 82.1% (IQR: 75.3–104.3%) and 84.9% (IQR: 75.8–89.0%) for resistance and aerobic exercise, respectively. The median cumulative resistance exercise dosage completed across the intervention was 4350 repetitions (IQR: 4080–5625 repetitions). For the aerobic exercise component, a total of 1716 out of 2046 aerobic exercise intervals were completed. Exercise dose had to be modified or interrupted for 17.9% of the resistance exercise sessions. All participants had their resistance exercise programme modified at some phase of the intervention, with the exercise dose reduced or escalated in 166 out of 226 sessions completed (73.5%). Participants had a median of 3 sessions (IQR: 2–7 sessions) with the resistance exercise dose reduced (59 out of 226 sessions), while the resistance exercise dose was escalated for a median of 10 resistance exercise sessions (IQR: 4–16 sessions; 107 out of 226 sessions) (Figure Resistance exercise compliance per participant. Data based on volume/dosage prescribed and completed.With regard to exercise tolerance, 198 out of the 226 exercise sessions completed (87.6%) were performed at the prescribed (167 exercise sessions) or exceeded the target RPE (31 exercise sessions), while 28 exercise sessions were completed at a lower RPE than that prescribed (Figure Intervention attendance and session intensity (RPE) per participant.
