Brief Title: Strength Training and ADLs in Childhood Leukemia and Lymphoma Patients
Official Title: Effects of a Specific Strength Training Regarding Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Associated With Movement During Treatment of Leukemia or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Childhood and Adolescence
Study ID: NCT03934060
Brief Summary: Reduced activity levels and reduced muscular strength could severely impair the activities of daily living (ADLs) in pediatric leukemia and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Increased muscle strength is associated with improved accomplishment of ADLs and consequently greatest possible normality, autonomy and mobility. Primary outcome of this RCT (n=20/20) is the analysis of effects of a treatment-associated and close to every day life strength training (2-3 times/week) compared to a general exercise program (standard care).
