Conditions

Paediatric cancer survivors at risk of endocrine dysfunction Cancer

Interventions

iBoneFIT is a multicentre randomized controlled trial. Participants will be allocated into two groups: an intervention group (a 9-month exercise intervention) and a control group (no exercise program
updated 11/08/2020: no exercise intervention). Specific dietary advice regarding calcium and vitamin D will be given to both groups. Simple randomization will be applied using an online tool. Interve
in stage 2 (3 months), participants will perform squat jumps
in stage 3 (4 months), participants will perform countermovement jumps. Furthermore, five behavior change techniques were used to increase participants’ engagement (i.e. action planning and goal set

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 20/06/2022: 1. Bone mineral density measured using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and post-intervention 2. Bone architecture and geometry measured using specific software for Hip Structural Analysis at baseline and post-intervention 3. Spine Trabecular Bone Score measured using the software iNsight at baseline and post-intervention 4. Volumetric bone parameters measured using the software 3D-SHAPER at baseline and post-intervention Previous primary outcome measures from 11/08/2020 to 20/06/2022: 1. Bone mineral density measured using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention) 2. Bone architecture and geometry measured using specific software for Hip Structural Analysis at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention) 3. Spine Trabecular Bone Score measured using the software iNsight at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention) 4. Volumetric bone parameters measured using the software 3D-SHAPER at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention) Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Bone mineral density measured using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention) 2. Bone architecture and geometry using specific software for Hip Structural Analysis Trabecular Bone Score at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4 months post-intervention)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 20/06/2022: 1. Anthropometric measurements measured using an electronic scale for body mass and a precision stadiometer for body height (body mass index is also calculated). Body composition measured using DXA and a bioimpedance scale. Additionally, somatic maturation measured using the prediction of years from peak height velocity using validated algorithms for children. All of these parameters are assessed at baseline and post-intervention. 2. Physical fitness measured using the ALPHA fitness test battery at baseline and post-intervention. In addition, perceived physical fitness measured by the International Fitness Scale 3. Physical activity and sedentarism measured using tri-axial accelerometers at baseline and post-intervention. Furthermore, these variables are measured using the Youth Activity Profile questionnaire. Additionally, the influence of previous physical activities on bone is measured using the bone-specific physical activity questionnaire. 4. Calcium intake measured using a food-frequency questionnaire at baseline and post-intervention. Vitamin D status measured using the vitamin D questionnaire at baseline and post-intervention 5. Biochemical markers measured using venous blood samples between 8:00 and 10:00 after an overnight fast at baseline and post-intervention 6. Psychological distress measured using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC-T), Children Depression Inventory (CDI) and Positive Affect Schedule for children (PANAS-C) at baseline and post-intervention 7. Well-being measured using Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and Positive Affect Schedule for children (PANAS-C) at baseline and post-intervention 8. Quality of life measured using the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales) at baseline and post-intervention Previous secondary outcome measures from 11/08/2020 to 20/06/2022: 1. Anthropometric measurements measured
