Scatter graphs with weight (kg) in x-axis and peak oxygen consumption (pVO2: L/min) in y-axis to characterize the skeletal muscle effects in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) (A) Males, and (B) Females. Normal and Poor exercise performers are defined as %pmaxVO2 ≥ 80% and pVO2 < 80% in both sexes, respectively. (A) Open square: Normal males; Closed square: Poor males. (B) Open circle: Normal females; Closed circle: Poor females. Normal performers tended to show higher pVO2 with a given weight in both sexes than Poor performers, suggesting better skeletal muscle effects (skeletal muscle mass and possibly aerobic energy metabolism) in Normal performers
