Study Description

Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of exercise on physical performance and psychosocial aspects in children and adolescents with cancer during and after treatment.

Detailed Description: The longitudinal, prospective and monocentric cohort study at the University Medical Centre Mainz is based on the Europe-wide, multicentre FORTEe study \[NCT05289739\]. The Kolibri study aims to complement the FORTEe trial. Kolibri allows the inclusion of patients who are not receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy or who are undergoing oncological aftercare. The longitudinal design of the study will allow the effects of exercise therapy on cancer-related fatigue, health-related quality of life and other psychosocial outcomes, as well as on physical function, to be monitored over the course of oncological treatment, and will provide conclusions about the effectiveness and benefits of exercise therapy. This will enable the establishment and improvement of exercise therapy protocols, as the effects of the exercise dose applied can be observed and compared over time. The project will also validate and test the reliability of the Mainz Resilience Score in childhood cancer (MRScc) developed in the FORTEe project. The aim is to establish a validated questionnaire to assess resilience in children and adolescents with cancer, as no questionnaires are currently available.
