Exercise training may remedy these issues. Purpose: To assess the feasibility, safety, participant satisfaction and efficacy of a training program for youth with IBD. Methods: Children with IBD completed 16 weeks of training (2 supervised+1 home sessions per week). Feasibility was assessed by tracking recruitment, adherence, and compliance rates. Safety was assessed by tracking symptoms and adverse events. Post-training interviews gauged satisfaction. Circulating inflammatory markers, body composition, muscle strength, aerobic fitness, and habitual physical activity, were measured at baseline, mid-training (8 weeks), and post-training. Results: Eleven youth were recruited and 10 completed the study. Participants adhered to 28{+/-}1 of 32 prescribed supervised sessions and 8{+/-}4 of 16 prescribed home sessions. There were no adverse events, and overall feedback on training was positive. Post-training, we observed an increase in lean mass (+2.4{+/-}1.1 kg), bone density (+0.0124{+/-}0.015 g*cm-2), aerobic fitness (+2.8{+/-}5.7 mL*kgLM-1*min-1), and vigorous physical activity levels (+13.09{+/-} 8.95 min*hr-1) but no change in inflammation or muscle strength.

Research has shown that a pediatric cancer diagnosis is associated with impairments of physical performance, and function, as well as reduced physical, and psychosocial, health conditions. From an ethical perspective, lack of knowledge of health care providers, lack of physical activity promotion, and environmental, and structural barriers to physical activity restrict children's right to move and actively engage in physical activities. Network ActiveOncoKids is a German-wide initiative with the main goal of enabling children, adolescents, and young adults with exercise opportunities during and after cancer treatment. Since the network's foundation in 2012, Network ActiveOncoKids focuses on: (1) physical activity support for patients and families, (2) policy change to establish structures and guidelines, and (3) generating evidence through scientific projects. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of Network ActiveOncoKids structure, aims, and projects.
