Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this multicenter study is to evaluate a personalised and standardised exercise intervention for children and adolescents undergoing anti-cancer treatment.

Detailed Description: In the randomised, controlled FORTEe trial, high evidence for an innovative, patient-centred exercise treatment shall be generated. Supervised exercise training intents to increase muscle strength and reduce muscular atrophy due to bedrest. CRF and HRQoL can be improved and in the future, these benefits may help to fight childhood cancer by increasing therapy efficiency and survival rate. Within the project, digital, innovative technologies such as augmented reality will be developed and applied to make the exercise training more effective, age-adapted and personalised. Moreover, FORTEe will stimulate translational research to provide access to paediatric exercise oncology as a new health care intervention. As a progress beyond the current state-of-the-art, FORTEe has the ambition to implement paediatric exercise oncology as an evidence-based standard in clinical care for all childhood cancer patients across the EU and beyond.
