FORTEe Get Strong Brazil L 4+

The "FORTEe - Get strong" app is a child-friendly game that provides young cancer patients with knowledge about health-conscious behaviour and was developed as part of the Europe-wide FORTEe study.

The FORTEe study investigates how physical activity (exercise, sport) affects the body and whether it can help in coping with cancer.

Our “FORTEe – Get Strong” app includes a FORTEe village in which children and young people can navigate their avatar and discover the FORTEe world. The village consists of small houses filled with numerous knowledge contents, sporting exercises, games and fun facts. The games include information about health, physical activity and nutrition and provides information about the FORTEe study and the participating partners from different countries all over Europe.

In numerous mini-games, such as the FORTEe quiz, children can also acquire new knowledge in a playful way or are encouraged to perform small physical activity tasks.
The sporting exercises cover the motor skills of endurance, strength, flexibility, coordination and gait and are designed so that children, adolescents and young adults can perform them safely despite their illness. In addition, patients can choose between different levels of difficulty so that the training can be adapted to their state of health.

The game is optimized for smartphones, but also runs on tablets. However, there can be problems with the aspect ratio!
