First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether a physical activity program can help children aged 5–17 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia maintain muscle strength and avoid frailty during early treatment. Kids who show signs of weakness after five weeks of chemotherapy are randomly assigned to either the exercise program or standard care. The study also checks if muscle measurements like ultrasound and grip strength are useful tools for this group.
