Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this randomized, controlled study is to evaluate the impact and feasibility of a prolonged physical activity intervention in school-aged childhood cancer survivors who self-report sedentary lifestyles. The study will test the hypothesis that childhood cancer survivors participating in a physical activity intervention guided by Social Cognitive Theory will increase the amount of time spent daily in moderate to vigorous physical activity, and improve exercise self-efficacy compared to children randomized to usual care. A secondary aim is to assess the impact of the intervention on cardiovascular risk factors including fitness and body composition.
