Motion for Recovery: The Impact of Gyrokinesis on Childhood Cancer-Related Fatigue.

Summary

CRF influences engagement in everyday activities, mood, sleep, social relations, school attendance, academic achievement, and quality of life . It was significantly associated with low health-related quality of life in pediatric cancer patients including leukemia . Since attention to managing cRF has been drawn, only a few non-pharmacological strategies were tested for their effectiveness in reducing cRF among children. Physical activity (Pa) has been proven to be the most effective strategy . Yet adherence to Pa remains problematic.
