TEAM Me (Totally Excited About Moving, Mobility, and Exercise) Clinical Research Protocol
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This clinical trial studies how well an exercise program (Totally Excited About Moving, Mobility, and Exercise \[TEAM Me\]) affects the exercise and dietary habits of pediatric and adolescents and young adults with cancer undergoing a blood stem cell transplant. TEAM Me is an exercise program that reinforces behavior, such as walking and other activities, using "tokens" (i.e. stickers) that can be redeemed for rewards. Participating in the exercise program may result in increased physical fitness, physical activity level, quality of life, and function in pediatric and adolescents and young adult patients with cancer.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of this exercise program using a token economy system in hospitalized pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the impact of an exercise program using a token economy system in hospitalized pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients going through HSCT on measures of physical fitness. II. To evaluate the impact of an exercise program using a token economy system in hospitalized pediatric and adolescent and you…
