Pediatric Physical Activity for Children With Cancer

Completed

Conditions studied: Pediatric Cancer, Physical Activity

In brief

The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and participant adherence (pediatric patients diagnosed with childhood cancer) to a virtual, 12-week physical activity program. The aims of this project are to: 1. Determine the feasibility of administering the program and patient acceptability. 2. Report program adherence and completion rates. 3. Explore trends on the impact of a virtual PA intervention on psychosocial health and physical fitness. Participants will undergo pre- and post-assessments including measurements of fitness, self-reported fatigue and depression symptoms, social support, and current amount of physical activity. Patients will then be invited to participate in two consecutive, 12-week virtual physical activity interventions with similar-aged peers (2x/week, 60 minutes/session) over 2 rounds.
