Study information
| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | A 12 week aerobic and muscle strength training program (twice a week) compared with baseline training level |
| Secondary study design | Non randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | The feasibility of an exercise program for children who survived cancer: the FITStrong study |
| Study acronym | FITstrong |
| Study objectives | Exercise training is a feasible method to improve fitness (peak oxygen uptake), muscle strength and fatigue in children who survived cancer. Feasibility will be studied according to the number of performed training sessions and a structured interview with patients and training about their opinion on the training program. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from University Medical Center Utrecht (The Netherlands) on the 2nd April 2007 (ref: 06/303). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Exercise in children who survived cancer |
| Intervention | Two times a week exercise training (45 minutes) starting with warm up, followed by muscle strength components and aerobic components and ended with a cool down. The participants have to perform home exercise two times per week, and at increasing muscle strength/endurance. |
