Abstract
Leukemias are the most common types of hematological cancers in children, and negatively impact functional capacity. There is evidence in the literature that therapeutic exercises can have a positive impact on functions. The aim of this study is to evaluate functional capacity, muscle strength, fatigue and quality of life through the application of a protocol of therapeutic exercises during pediatric leukemia hospitalization. Children will be allocated into two groups: one will carry out a protocol of therapeutic exercises, while the other will undergo conventional respiratory physiotherapy. The protocol is approved by the ethics and research committee of the host institution (No. 5.439.594). Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal articles and conferences. Clinical trial registration: RBR-8sxnfyd (https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br).
