We compared fitness and echocardiographic variables in childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) and controls. A secondary aim was to determine the potential role of previous enrollment in inpatient exercise, and of current physical activity (PA) levels. CCSs showed impairments in some physical fitness and cardiac parameters ≥ 4 yrs posttreatment, which seemed independent of previous inpatient exercise background but not of MVPA/VPA levels after treatment.engCiencias del DeporteSupervivientes de CáncerNeoplasiasEjercicio Físicojournal article10.1016/J.JSAMS.2025.05.009embargoed accessCiencias médicasCáncerSistema cardiovascularGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries
