Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Influence of a singular motor-cognitive exercise session on cognitive performance, cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and brain activity in pediatric oncology patients during the acute phase assessed by a cognitive test battery (d2 test, trail making test), the PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale and EEG measurement. The parameters are measured at two time points. The initial measurement takes place before the intervention is carried out and the final measurement immediately after the one-off 40-minute intervention. | — |
