Key result
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors showed reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (by 16% of predicted VO2peak), and 67% did not fulfill physical activity guidelines.
Why the study?
More than two thirds of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors have long-term adverse effects, but no study had evaluated their physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness levels.

May support activity promotion in survivors; hypothesis-generating for intervention trials on fitness and outcomes.
Cross-Sectional (n=247)
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors exhibit reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and high levels of sedentary behavior, highlighting the need for targeted physical activity promotion.
LeMay et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors (n=247). Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors showed reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (by 16% of predicted VO2peak), and 67% did not fulfill physical activity guidelines.
