* Planned, ongoing or just completed neoadjuvant treatment, including either 1) chemoradiation, 2) total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), or 3) chemotherapy only; and anticipated surgical resection to follow.
* Able to understand the study procedures, agree to participate in the study program, and voluntarily provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Distant metastatic disease known at the time of diagnosis.
* Functional incapacity (i.e., incapable of performing exercise testing).
* Comorbid conditions or cognitive/physical impairments that contraindicate exercise.
* Currently undergoing treatment for a secondary primary tumor, in addition to primary rectal cancer.
* Currently enrolled in a separate clinical trial that would prohibit them from performing the tasks instructed in this trial.
