Official Title: Effect of Non-Pharmacologic Interventions on Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease in Survivors of Childhood Leukemia, Lymphoma and Brain Tumor
Brief Summary: This clinical trial studies dietary and exercise interventions in preventing cardiovascular disease in younger survivors of childhood cancer. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in younger survivors of childhood cancer.
Detailed Summary:
Participants receive personalized exercise plan and prescription tailored to individual needs and current level of activity and fitness, and they also receive 2 one-hour individual exercise training sessions consisting of 20-30 minutes cardiovascular activity and strength training.
