Summary

This study tests whether a 16-week virtual high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program, done on a stationary bike at home, can improve physical fitness, thinking skills, and emotional well-being in young adults (ages 18-45) who survived a pediatric brain tumor. Thirty participants will either do the HIIT program or continue their usual activities. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with secondary goals of measuring changes in cognition, fitness, and muscle function.
