Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a pilot feasibility study to collect preliminary data for a large-scale exergaming intervention in children undergoing maintenance therapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Patients, ages 5-17 years will be randomized to the intervention or non-intervention control group. The intervention will consist of 30 minute sessions of exergaming 3-5 times a week for 6 months, with weekly assessment of exercise level and phone calls by kinesiology graduate students for safety and compliance. Physical activity at baseline and at the end of study will be assessed using accelerometers. Outcome measures will include: anthropometrics, blood pressure, body composition, visceral fat, vascular function, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, LDL-cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol, triglycerides, functional mobility and endurance, and strength.
