Strength Training for Kids with Cancer During or After Treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised strength-training program helps children and teens with cancer feel stronger, recover better, and manage side effects during or after cancer treatment. The goal is to see if safe, guided exercise improves quality of life.
