To examine moment-to-moment patterns of general and cognitive fatigue among childhood cancer survivors and assess whether prior fatigue, emotional tension, sleep quantity, recent physical activity, and cardiorespiratory fitness relate to fatigue.
Approach:
Design: The study used experience sampling and wearable-device monitoring to assess fatigue and daily-life behaviors.
Predictors: The planned analyses examined prior fatigue, lagged emotional tension, nightly sleep quantity, physical activity in the hours before assessment, and whether VO2peak moderated the activity–fatigue relationship.
Interpretation:
The provided context describes the study rationale and aims but does not report results.
Limitations:
The supplied article context ends during the Methods section and does not include study results or detailed methodological information.
Conclusion:
The study aimed to characterize daily-life dynamics of general and cognitive fatigue separately among childhood cancer survivors.
