Assessment of the effects of walking as an exercise intervention for children and adolescents with cancer: A feasibility study.

CONCLUSIONS: Walking exercise is a feasible and tolerable intervention that should be considered for children and adolescents with cancer. Here, a 6-week walking exercise regimen increased exercise tolerance and improved fatigue. We recommend that walking exercise should be promoted during hospitalization and at home to alleviate fatigue. PMID: 30473048 [PubMed - in process]
