Summary
This study looked at 72 children aged 10-18 who finished chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Researchers compared two types of aerobic exercise—one with a steady intensity and one that gradually increases—to see which better improves heart and lung fitness. All kids exercised three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal is to find the best way to help young survivors regain their strength and stamina.
