Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of the study is to find out which influence bicycle ergometer training with oncologically ill children and adolescents during acute medical therapy has on their endurance performance. The endurance performance is primarily determined through the application of the Steep Ramp Test (endurance test on the bicycle ergometer). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition, the influence on the endurance performance will be evaluated using the following parameters: - Functional walking ability (6 MWT) - acquisition of the resting heart rate A further secondary study objective will focus on the patients' satisfaction with the training program and evaluate the feasibility of the intervention: - Satisfaction (self-designed questionnaire) - Feasibility: participation rate, the occurrence of adverse events, documentation of relevant training parameters (training duration, intensity (wattage, BORG scale and heart rate), breaks if necessary, necessary modification of the training protocol). | — |
