Brief Summary
This pilot study will examine the safety, feasibility, and effect on quality of life of moderate physical activity on adolescent and young adult patients who are admitted to the hospital periodically for routine chemotherapy. Patients will be asked to participate in daily physical exercise during hospital admissions over a three-month period. Exercise sessions will be monitored and guided by M.D. Anderson physical therapists, a personal trainer, and Dr. Michael Rytting, pediatric oncologist. The personal trainer will meet with each participant for reinforcement and to provide an opportunity for exercise between hospitalizations. If results are positive, the study will be extended to a larger cohort of patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Exercise Participation Rate
Participation in exercise program as measured through group attendance examined from study entry to three months later. Exercise participation rate was examined across 4 timepoints corresponding to inpatient chemotherapy treatments, and calculated as number of those exercising in each period divided by total participants in that period.
Baseline to 3 months
Study Arms (1)
Exercise program
EXPERIMENTALDaily (Monday-Friday) 45-minute group physical exercise program during each hospital admission for three months or individual 20 minute session bedside.
Interventions
Daily group or personal exercise programs designed to promote flexibility, endurance, and strength.
Questionnaires taking 15 minutes to complete.
