SURfit study design. Shows the general design and procedure of the SURfit study. All visits of T0, T3, T6 and T12 are at the University Children’s Hospital Basel (UKBB) including a visit at the Bone Research Unit of the University Hospital Basel (USB) to perform the DXA and pQCT scans (T0a and T12a). After one year of trial, participants of the control intervention who wish to, can receive the same personalized exercise counselling with motivational tools but no personal follow-up coaching. Participants of the intervention group will hopefully continue their training without supervision of the study team but still having access to the motivational tools of the study. Abbreviations: DXA, dual x-ray absorptiometry; mt, months; oGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; pQCT, peripheral quantitative computed tomography; SCCR, Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry; T0a, initial baseline visit; T0b, second visit for baseline assessments; T3, assessment after 3 months; T6a and T6b, first and second visit of assessments after 6 months; T12a and T12b, first and second visit of assessments after 12 months
