Summary

This small study tests whether a physical activity program can help children (ages 5-17) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia maintain or regain muscle strength during early treatment. Kids who show signs of weakness after 5 weeks of treatment are randomly assigned to either the exercise program or standard care. The study also checks if muscle measurements work well for these children. The goal is to gather data for a larger future trial.
