Description Purpose: to compare isokinetic strength in oncological patients before and after medical treatment. Methods: 3 males (40.67 ± 26.63 years, 183.00 ± 7.32 cm, 80.17 ± 6.48 kg) and 6 females (57.67 ± 10.68 years, 168.17 ± 9.01 cm, 77.85 ± 16.04 kg) were assessed on a Humac Norm at 30o /sec and 60o /sec during extension and flexion of the legs. A 2-way (Gender x Time) mixed Anova with repeated measures on the second factor was used to assess the differences between men and women over time. Results: There was a Gender x Time interaction for peak torque (eta2 = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13 – 0.82). The men (161.33±25.95 Nm) scored higher than the women (63.25±25.94 Nm) during the pre-test (d=3.78 (95% CI: -25.58–24.54 Nm). They also scored higher at the post-test (153.33±26.99 Nm vs. 70.83±26.99 Nm, d=3.06, 95% CI: -27.48–24.65 Nm). Conclusion: Isokinetic peak torque did not differ between the pre- and post-test in both men and women after medical treatment for leukemia.
