Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find an improvement in Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF), evaluated by the Pediatric Quality of life inventoryTM Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQLTM Multidimensional Fatigue Scale) ((PedsQL) Multidimensional Fatigue Version) (PedsQL-MFS), with an improvement of at least 10% in the FRC. Data collected before and after the intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expect to find an improvement in Isometric Force Production Capability with an improvement of at least 10% in Isometric Force Production. Data collected before and after the intervention. A microFET2 HHD manual dynamometer (Hoggan Health Industries, Salt Lake City, Utah) will be used.;It is expected to find an improvement in Functional Capacity with an improvement of at least 10% in Functional Capacity. Data collected before and after the intervention. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test will be used.;The Sedentary Behavior will be used for the initial evaluation, the questionnaire used will be To evaluate the sedentary behavior (CS) the procedure adopted by Costa & Assis (2011) will be used. Through a Questionnaire, applied to the parents or guardians of the participants, information about the average time exposure using screens (television, video game and computer use), on typical weekdays and typical weekend days will be required. It is assumed that with the intervention, the level of CS will increase.
