ALTE1631: Web-based Exercise for Children and Adolescents with Cancer

About this study

Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, improves energy levels and overall health. Children and adolescents who have received treatment for cancer are often less active, may gain weight and have more health problems compared to children and adolescents who have not received treatment for cancer. This study looks at exercise and its effect on children and teens who have completed treatment for cancer. 

The main goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of a reward-based website on fitness and quality of life in children and adolescents who have completed therapy for cancer.
