Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of active video gaming with regard to the promotion of physical activity and motor learning in children with cancer. Experienced fatigue, body mass index and the development of metabolic risk factors during treatment are also examined.
