Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Behaviour - Complex physical activity intervention
Experimental: Physical Activity - Behavioural change techniques to promote physical activity
Behaviour: Complex physical activity intervention
Structured weekly sessions with a Physiotherapist over an 8 week period, including:
Evaluation of current levels of physical activity and physical function - including discussion of results
Education regarding the importance of physical activity
Supervised physical activity session with a physiotherapist
Structured weekly sessions applying behavioural change techniques which aim to increase participation in physical activity. Sessions include: provision of activity monitor (Fitbit Inspire), goal setting, monitoring, collaborative problem solving and action plan implementation. Intervention includes additional time allowance of 1 hour per week to assist in implementing action plan items

Measured by number of adverse events reported related to trial procedures. At each trial visit, participants will be asked "How have you felt since your last visit?" in order to elicit any changes in their well-being. They will also be asked if they have had any falls, new injuries, felt distress as a result of the intervention or experienced a change in medical or mobility status. Adverse events relevant to participant safety will also be documented from correspondence from their primary care physician or from the medical record. Adverse events recorded as serious or non-serious, related or not related to the intervention.

Key exclusion criteria
- Deemed by the treating medical team as unsafe to participate
- Child/adolescent unable to mobilise independent of clinical staff assistance, as
classified by the research team at the time of consent (use of a gait aid or
assistance from a primary carer/support person is accepted). For example, if a
child/adolescent requires assistance from nursing staff or physiotherapist in order to
walk, they will be excluded.
- Child/adolescent unable to follow simple instructions
- Suitable support person (18 years and over) not available to participate in continuous
monitoring of daily steps in tandem with the child/adolescent
- No suitable access to a device to sync with a Fitbit
- Inability or unwillingness of participant or legally acceptable representative to give
written informed consent.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate a physical activity intervention for children during acute cancer
treatment. The intervention aims to encourage children to participate in increased levels of
physical activity and reduce the amount of time they spend engaged in sedentary activities.
This study also aims to evaluate different ways of assessing physical function in order to
determine the best outcome measure to use for children during acute cancer treatment.
