Brief Title: Telehealth Based Intervention to Improve Functional Capacity in Survivors of Childhood Cancer With Significantly Limited Exercise Tolerance
Official Title: Telehealth Based Intervention to Improve Functional Capacity in Survivors of Childhood Cancer With Significantly Limited Exercise Tolerance
Study ID: NCT04714840
Brief Summary: The participants are asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study. The participants are SJLIFE study participants and may have a hard time exercising (exercise intolerance) due to side effects of cancer treatment received as a child.This study is being done to determine if a personalized exercise plan will help childhood cancer survivors who have exercise intolerance become more active. Primary Objectives: To achieve the goal of this study, we propose the following three Objectives: Primary Objective 1: To determine the efficacy of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention to improve exercise capacity in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance (peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) \<85% of age and sex predicted). Primary Objective 2: To determine the effects of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention on measures of cardiac, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurosensory function in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance. Primary Objective 3: To determine the effects of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention on emotional health, participation in family and community activities, quality of life, and cognitive function in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance.
Detailed Description: The design for this study will be a single-blind two-arm, prospective, randomized clinical trial. Performance testing results: Both groups of participants will be provided with the results of their performance testing. Individually tailored exercise program: Individuals randomized to receive an individually tailored exercise program will meet with an exercise specialist.Generalized exercise recommendations: Individuals randomized to receive the generalized exercise recommendations will receive a copy of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
