Paxton et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Childhood cancer survivors (lymphoma, leukemia, and central nervous system cancers) (n=215). Leisure-time physical activity was evaluated on Overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (beta=0.17, p=<0.01). Leisure-time physical activity was significantly associated with overall health-related quality of life among survivors of childhood cancer (beta=0.17, p<0.01), with stronger effects in adolescents.
