POZIKIDS: Exercise and Comprehensive Care to Improve the Quality of Life of Children and Adolescents With Cancer

At least two sessions a week for a 6-month supervised and individualized physical exercise program that will have two phases: one that will be carried out in person in the hospital environment taking advantage of medical visits, and a second phase that will allow the patient to carry out the exercise sessions from home with live virtual supervision.

Two types of intervention are proposed depending on the age of the patients: Exercise intervention for adolescents (12 to 18 years): training will be based on strength training (2 - 3 sets of 8 - 12 repetitions) with elastic bands, weights, weights, medicine balls or body weight and aerobic work on a stationary bike, treadmill or other aerobic exercises. Sessions will last about 30-60 minutes (depending on the patient's situation). Exercise intervention for children (4 to 11 years old): The aim will be to work on basic motor skills through play, thus trying to avoid the delay in motor development, and to indirectly work on their physical condition to better cope with the effects of the treatments. Music, games that require movement and materials such as balls, hoops, etc., will be used to motivate the child to move while enjoying themselves. This will be done in sessions of 20 - 40 minutes.
