Telemedicine-based adapted physical activity (APA) programs are a practical and effective way to improve quality of life and physical function in children undergoing cancer treatment. These digital exercise interventions enable remote supervision and personalized support, making it easier for pediatric patients to stay active during treatment. Integrating such telehealth programs into long-term cancer care could enhance survivorship outcomes by maintaining physical capacity and well-being, though larger studies are needed to confirm these benefits.
