Exercise program for children and young adults on new cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.

This trial tests if an exercise program using a wearable device can help reduce fatigue and improve quality of life in teenagers with cancer who are currently on treatment. It might be a good fit if you are between 13 and 18 years old, are getting chemotherapy, and are feeling well enough to do light exercise.
This study tests whether a physical activity program can improve the quality of life for children and teens with cancer. You can join if you are between 8 and 18 years old, live in Quito, and are either getting cancer treatment or have finished treatment — as long as you haven't been in the hospital recently.
This trial tests whether a structured physical activity program can help children and teens feel better and stay active during cancer treatment or shortly after. It involves the child and a parent/caregiver for safety during sessions.
This trial studies an adapted exercise (physical activity) program for children starting treatment for cancer to see if it can improve insulin sensitivity. It may help kids feel better and support healthy body metabolism during treatment.
This study tests whether adding a personalized exercise program to standard cancer care can improve the quality of life for children and teens (ages 4–18) with cancer. Participants will receive exercise sessions along with their regular treatments, and the study will measure how this affects their day-to-day well-being.
This study tests whether gentle exercise during cancer treatment helps children feel better and recover faster. Researchers will guide kids through age-appropriate activities while they receive their cancer therapy.
