IMPACT: IMplementation of Physical Activity for Children and Adolescents on Treatment
Pediatric Cancer | Pediatric HematologyPhysical activity can enhance well-being among youth diagnosed with oncological or hematological diseases. We developed a tailored, 1:1, online physical activity program (i.e., IMPACT), to promote physical activity in this cohort. The proposed single-group, mixed-methods project will assess the effect of IMPACT and explore markers of implementation.
