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

In this study, we will randomly assign 360 older adults to 12 months of 5 minutes per day of functional resistance training or to a delayed treatment control condition, and measure the impact of the training on measures of lower extremity performance and walking ability.
