Effects of a home-exercise programme in childhood survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia on physical fitness and physical functioning: results of a randomised clinical trial
ConclusionThe home-exercise programme resulted in changes in measures of VO2peak, VE, VCO2, and functional capacity during daily life activities (TUDS and TUG test). This is an interesting and important study that surely adds to the current body of knowledge/literature on the safety of exercise interventions, especially in children with haematological cancer.
