Brief Summary:
This pilot study will examine the safety feasibility and effect on quality of life of moderate physical activity on adolescent and young adult patients who are admitted to the hospital periodically for routine chemotherapy Patients will be asked to participate in daily physical exercise during hospital admissions over a three-month period Exercise sessions will be monitored and guided by MD Anderson physical therapists a personal trainer and Dr Michael Rytting pediatric oncologist The personal trainer will meet with each participant for reinforcement and to provide an opportunity for exercise between hospitalizations If results are positive the study will be extended to a larger cohort of patients
Detailed Description:
Patients who are staying at MD Anderson for inpatient chemotherapy treatment will take part in this study
Participants in this study will be asked to take part in either mild physical exercise by themselves for 20 minutes a day or group exercise sessions of moderate intensity once a day Each participant will be evaluated by a physical therapist before participation
Exercise programs will be designed for each individual Participants will be encouraged to attend group sessions and continue the exercise program during the time they are outpatients Participants will also have the opportunity to work with a personal trainer
The group exercise program takes from 45 minutes to one hour and will be performed under the guidance of certified physical therapists and a personal trainer in the Pedi-Dome located on the ninth floor of the Alkek Tower of MD Anderson Participants who are not feeling well enough to come to the Pedi-Dome on a given day will have the opportunity to exercise in their hospital rooms with a physical therapist or trainer for 20 minutes
The exercises are designed to promote flexibility endurance and strength They include activities such as stretching pilates-yoga aerobics step aerobic training use of stationery bikes and the use of therapeutic exercise balls cuff weights and dumbbells The activities will be tailored to each individuals abilities and special needs
The total length of participation in this study is three months Participants will be asked to exercise each day that they are an inpatient and well enough to participate Participants will be encouraged to continue exercise and participation in the exercise program when they are outpatients but it will not be required Participants will fill out short questionnaires and be evaluated for quality of life fatigue physical strength and medical and nutritional status four times at the time of enrollment in the study and at one two and three months after enrollment The questionnaires will take about 15 minutes to complete
This is an investigational study A total of 40 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
