Impaired motor performance and reduced maximum exercise capacity during and after treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been shown. However, no longitudinal study monitoring motor performance after cessation of treatment has been published. Whether sub‐maximal exercise capacity is reduced is unknown.

Investigating fine motor deficits during maintenance therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in their early childhood are more susceptible to neuromuscular and musculoskeletal impairments. This cross‐sectional study was designed to…
Balance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TLDR
An overview of what is currently known about the effects of cancer treatment on balance in pediatric ALL patients and survivors, and of the predictors of poor balance, is provided.
Assessment of gross motor skills and phenotype profile in children 9–11 years of age in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TLDR
A new gross motor skill test battery in acute lymphoblastic leukemia children who have been off therapy for at least 1 year and to assess its discriminatory power (discriminant analysis) from healthy children.
Improving body function and minimizing activity limitations in pediatric leukemia survivors: The lasting impact of the Stoplight Program
TLDR
The purpose of this follow-up study was to measure body function and activity limitations in ALL survivors who completed the Stoplight Program and compare them to a pre‐SLP control group, thus evaluating the longer term impact of the SLP.
Motor ability, physical self‐concept and health‐related quality of life in pediatric cancer survivors
TLDR
Research into pediatric cancer survivors on late effects in motor ability, physical self‐concept and their relationship to quality of life is limited.
Effects of a 6‐Month, Group‐Based, Therapeutic Exercise Program for Childhood Cancer Outpatients on Motor Performance, Level of Activity, and Quality of Life
TLDR
No study has yet demonstrated significant changes in motor performance after an exercise intervention, but the potential role of exercise to improve motor performance has not been adequately explored.
Associating Physical Activity Levels with Motor Performance and Physical Function in Childhood Survivors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
TLDR
PA was not found to be associated with motor performance and physical function in children after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and participants who were overweight or obese had poorer 6MWT performance, which may indicate the need for closer monitoring of post-treatment weight status andPhysical function in the oncology follow-up setting.
Motor Performance After Treatment for Pediatric Bone Tumors
TLDR
These findings show serious reductions in motor performance within 2 years after bone tumor treatment and highlight the need for interventions to improve motor performance.
Cardiopulmonary Aerobic Fitness Assessment During Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Testing in Pediatric Oncology Patients After Chemotherapy
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the CPET can be used in pediatric cancer survivors with prior exposure to chemotherapy to demonstrate impaired cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance, which is demonstrated on submaximal and maximal effort testing.
Occupational Performance in Children Aged 6 to 13 Years with Cancer
TLDR
Information is provided about the occupational performance needed in children with cancer undergoing cancer therapy to provide information about the problems and requirements of childhood activities in children facing cancer therapy.

A randomized trial investigating an exercise program to prevent reduction of bone mineral density and impairment of motor performance during treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TLDR
A randomized study investigating whether an exercise program could prevent side effects of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment found it possible to reduce bone mineral density, altered body composition, impaired motor performance and passive ankle dorsiflexion.
Physical function and fitness in long-term survivors of childhood leukaemia
TLDR
Even 5–6 years after cessation of childhood leukaemia treatment, there are still clear late effects on motor performance and physical fitness, and physical training might be indicated for patients survivingLeukaemia to improve fitness levels and muscle strength.
Decrease in peripheral muscle strength and ankle dorsiflexion as long‐term side effects of treatment for childhood cancer
This study investigated muscle strength, passive ankle dorsiflexion, and their association with motor performance in children after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Wilms tumor,…
Development, feasibility and efficacy of a community‐based exercise training program in pediatric cancer survivors
TLDR
A 12‐week exercise training program (comprising aerobic and strength exercises) is developed and the feasibility and efficacy of this exercise program in children who survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia is studied.
Decrease in motor performance in children with cancer is independent of the cumulative dose of vincristine
TLDR
The objective of the current study was to determine the extent of motor problems in children with ALL, Wilms tumor (WT), B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (B‐NHL), and malignant mesenchymal tumors (MMT) and whether these motor problems were related to VCR dose.
Long-term gross motor performance following treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
TLDR
Programs to promote physical activity and limit disability may improve gross motor function and increase overall quality-of-life in survivors of leukemia in childhood.
Lung function and exercise capacity in survivors of childhood leukaemia.
TLDR
Long-term cardiopulmonary follow-up may be necessary and new regimens devised which reduce long-term toxicity without compromising survival rates are devised.
Recovery kinetics of heart rate and oxygen uptake in long-term survivors of acute leukemia in childhood
TLDR
The recovery period did not reveal a discernible difference in cardiopulmonary capacity between former ALL patients and untrained age-matched controls, but it was confirmed that heart rate and oxygen uptake recovery serve as indicators of physical fitness.
Motor performance of children during treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
TLDR
Remarkably, half a year after reinduction therapy, problems with balance had decreased, whereas the number of children with fine motor problems had increased, and a relation between the gross motor problems and vincristine neurotoxicity seems plausible based on a descriptive analysis of the data.

Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are recognised to become overweight and this seems to worsen with increasing length of follow up. Increases in body fat appear to be more marked in…
