A 55-year-old male patient, a physiotherapist with 95% neuroendocrine bladder cancer, started a plan of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) with etoposide and cisplatin (EP) in four cycles of three sessions each before radical cystectomy. The patient has practiced mountaineering and cycling for more than 35 years, with an average of 1,000 km cycling per month. In agreement with the treating oncologist, he carried out a physical training plan during and after CT, four times a week for 16 weeks, mainly in an outdoor environment (road cycling, hiking or trekking, fast walking, and stationary cycling). As a result, the three proposed objectives were successful: CT was completed on planned dates and doses, there were no permanent side effects, and the patient’s sport-related cardiovascular and musculoskeletal condition was maintained.
