RECRUITING

Community-Based Exercise and Nutrition Training and Education Program for Cancer Survivors

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

This clinical trial evaluates whether a supervised community-based exercise and nutrition program is usable and effective for improving cancer survivors' confidence for maintaining their physical activity and nutrition. Cancer survivors often experience problems with the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue), the cardiopulmonary system (heart, blood vessels and lungs) and the metabolic system (how the body's cells change food into energy) following treatment. There is substantial evidence that physical activity, diet, and weight management can improve quality of life (emotional and physical well-being) and physical fitness. Information gathered from this study may help researchers determine whether participating in a community-based exercise/nutrition training and education program may improve levels of fitness, cardiovascular health, and quality of life for cancer survivors.
