Exploring the Feasibility, Safety, and Potential Benefits of a 12-week Home-based Physical Activity Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physical Activity for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
More adolescents and young adults are surviving cancer than ever before. Many endure negative effects related to their cancer and its treatment, which reduces their quality of life and functioning. Physical activity is one strategy that has been shown to promote quality of life amongst cancer survivors. However, very little research has focused on adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to explore the feasibility, safety, and potential benefits of a 12-week home-based physical activity intervention in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants will receive a 12-week home-based physical activity program that has been individualized using their baseline assessment results. The program will be comprised of aerobic training (2 days/week) and resistance training (2 days/week). The aerobic training will be performed unsupervised. The resistance training will be performed under the supervision of a study team member (who will visit participants homes) for the first 6 weeks to ensure proper form and safety.
