Experimental Treatment
Group I: Real life usability testingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
B) "Real Life" Usability Testing. We will conduct a "real life" usability test in a sample of 6 pediatric cancer survivors. EX@HOME: Patients will perform an individualized aerobic and resistance exercise intervention, choosing from a list of PA, progressing from light to moderate-to-vigorous intensity totaling 30-45 min/d, 4-5 weekly/wk. for 4 weeks. The social-cognitive-theory-based mobile app will support the exercise intervention. One-on-one messaging chats with a PA coach through the mobile app will facilitate exercise goal establishment and attainment.
