Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The FeelFit study aims to assess the effectiveness of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in improving self-reported physical fitness in adult brain tumor patients during periods of stable disease, as compared to a waiting-list control group. Furthermore, several secondary and exploratory outcomes will be evaluated. The study is part of the GRIP (GuaRding quality survivorshiP) project, which aims to improve quality of life in brain tumor patients.

Target number of participants: 36
Treatments
Experimental: HIIT
The intervention group will perform High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), consisting of two supervised exercise sessions per week on a stationary bike, for 12 weeks.~In addition, participants will receive information on general guidelines for weekly physical activity levels and will be asked to keep an exercise diary.
No_intervention: Waiting-list
The control group on the waiting list will be given the option to perform High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) after their participation in the study.~In addition, also participants from the waiting-list control group will receive information on general guidelines for weekly physical activity levels and will be asked to keep an exercise diary.
