Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of the study is to examine the ability of resistance or aerobic exercise training to "imprint" skeletal muscle cells in a manner which confers long-term changes in this tissue which in-turn contribute to improved metabolic health and functional capacity through epigenetic regulation of novel exercise response genes. This study will also provide primary human skeletal muscle cells to the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) (NCT03960827) repository for future use.
