Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
We will conduct a two-phase study. The first phase is to adapt and develop an active video game (AVG)-centered lifestyle physical activity (PA) intervention (POWER UP) for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with central nervous system tumors. The second phase is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week virtually delivered, group-based active video game-centered lifestyle physical activity intervention on function and quality of life in AYAs (aged 15-39) who are ≤1-year post-surgery for a central nervous system tumor. This population is at very high-risk for steep functional decline.
