We performed a feasibility study aimed at assessing the safety, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a longer sVT protocol (15\u2005min per session) in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifteen participants aged 5.2\u201317.4 years (median\u2009=\u200912.4 years) with CP GMFCS level II underwent 20 weeks of sVT consisting of 15\u2005min sessions 4 days\/week. Participants were assessed at baseline and after the intervention period, including mobility (six-minute walk-test; 6MWT), body composition (whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans), and muscle function (force plate).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adherence level to the 15\u2005min VT protocol was 83% on average.
