abstract = {Background: New approaches on paediatric cancer treatment aim to maintain long-term health. As a result of
radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery, paediatric cancer survivors tend to suffer from any chronic health condition.
Endocrine dysfunction represents one of the most common issues and affects bone health. Exercise is key for bone
mass accrual during growth, specifically plyometric jump training. The iBoneFIT study will investigate the effect of a
9-month online exercise programme on bone health in paediatric cancer survivors. This study will also examine the
effect of the intervention on body composition, physical fitness, physical activity, calcium intake, vitamin D, blood
samples quality of life and mental health.
Methods: A minimum of 116 participants aged 6 to 18 years will be randomized into an intervention (n = 58) or
control group (n = 58). The intervention group will receive an online exercise programme and diet counselling on
calcium and vitamin D. In addition, five behaviour change techniques and a gamification design will be
implemented in order to increase the interest of this non-game programme. The control group will only receive
diet counselling. Participants will be assessed on 3 occasions: 1) at baseline; 2) after the 9 months of the
intervention; 3) 4 months following the intervention. The primary outcome will be determined by dual energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DXA) and the hip structural analysis, trabecular bone score and 3D-DXA softwares. Secondary
outcomes will include anthropometry, body composition, physical fitness, physical activity, calcium and vitamin D
intake, blood samples, quality of life and mental health.},
