Summary

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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity

The program will consist of 2 consecutive rounds of 12-week programming, 2x/week for 60 minutes on a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant Zoom account. The PA program will be structured to ensure equivalent "PA doses" are provided. This will be done by allocating time to a warm-up (5 min), an introduction and demonstration of the activity (5 min), the PA (30 min), cool down and stretching (5 min). Time will also be devoted for interaction to develop rapport, transition to the next activity, and to handle internet connectivity issues (15 min).
