Summary
This trial will test whether an exercise program can improve physical, mental and emotional health for young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-39 who survived pediatric brain tumors, are at least two years post-treatment, and currently do little structured exercise. They must be medically cleared for exercise, not smoke or vape, agree to use contraception if applicable, and be willing to travel for data collection. Those with uncontrolled diseases or active malignancies cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests a virtual 16-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program against a control group to see if it improves physical, cognitive, and emotional health in survivors of pediatric brain tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial does not involve medication with side effects typical of drugs, HIIT can cause muscle soreness, fatigue or injury especially if participants are not accustomed to intense physical activity.
