NCT ID NCT07634653
First seen Jun 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 9-week strength training program using resistance bands and bodyweight exercises is practical for children aged 6 to 21 with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma. The program includes both in-person and virtual sessions, with weekly symptom check-ins. The goal is to see if kids can stick with the exercise routine during early chemotherapy and whether it helps with tiredness, muscle weakness, and other side effects.
