Childhood ALL survivors with prior exposure to chemotherapy can achieve a safe maximal CPET. They were able of achieving a maximal exercise test without being limited by symptoms, potential overprotection, or musculoskeletal issues. Thus, it should be the norm to realize a CPET prior a physical activity program to propose an optimal prescription. This study provides important information regarding the maximal physiological parameters that childhood ALL survivors are able to reach and have important clinical implications in the exercise and oncology field for this population of survivors.
