Critically appraised paper: A 6-month experiential training program with coaching is effective in reducing fatigue and promoting physical activity among children with cancer [commentary]

摘要

Children undergoing treatment for cancer are less physically active than their age-matched peers.’ Reduced participation in physical activity has potential implications for their physical development, and may impact their future engagement in an active healthy lifestyle after treat- ment.’ In a complex setting such as acute cancer treatment, it is chal- lenging to overcome the barriers to physical activity.’ The study by Lam et al assessed a novel intervention that addresses many of these barriers.
