Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Satisfaction about the traingsperiod and program of both trainers and patients.
Furthermore complicance and adherance of both the home-based program and
supervised program will be monitored.
Secondary outcome
Pre program and postprogram levels of exercise tolerance, muscle strength,
fatigue and habitual activity.
Background summary
Title: Feasibility of a trainingprogram fot primary care facilities in
childhood cancer survivors (FitStrong project).
Background: Fatigue and impaired exercise tolerance are well documented
symptoms in cancer survivors and have a detrimantal effect on quality of life
outcome. Recent findings in adult cancer treatment show beneficial effects of
exercise training.
Study objective
To determine the feasibility of a trainingprogram in childhood cancer survivors
in the primary health care system
Study design
A 12 week supervised aerobic, anaerobic & muscle strength training program
(2x/week) accopagnied by 2x/week hometrainingprogram, will be evaluated with
immediate exercise testing and evaluation of habitual activities after the
training period and this will be compared with a base line level that has been
maesured at the start of the program.
Intervention
Twice/week, 45 min. supervised training starting with warm up, followed by
muscle strength (anaerobic) components and aerobic components and ended with a
cool down. Twice/ week 11 min. unsupervised hometrainingprogram with the same
components (different exercises).
