The objective of the study was to investigate how male and female survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) perceived whole-body effort at low and moderate intensity exercise. Physiological and body composition variables were studied. In absolute and relative terms perception of effort was generally higher in ALL than control subjects. It was recommended that future studies should investigate the design and efficacy of rehabilitation programmes for survivors of ALL. Bell contributed to data collection/analysis and wrote the manuscript.
