Exercise Component
The Play Fit-Stay Fit! fitness component is geared toward alleviating the late effects of cancer.
Each child is evaluated by an experienced physical therapist and then integrated into a physical activity group with children of similar age and physical activity status. A smaller class size allows each child plenty of individualized attention.
The fitness program is structured in three progressive phases that are tailored to each
child’s individual needs and progress:
- General conditioning
- Strength and endurance
- Power, agility, and sport-specific skills
