Summary

This study aims to examine the feasibility and effect of a home-based short-term telerehabilitation exercise intervention using heart rate monitor and internet platform in patients with lymphoma.

Detailed description

Fifteen lymphoma cancer patients post-treatment (except adjuvant treatment) will be enrolled in the study. Cardiorespiratory fitness (peak oxygen consumption), adverse events, body composition and adherence to exercise prescription will be evaluated at baseline, 12-week, and year after enrollment.

Conditions

• Lymphoma
• Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Telerehablitation using heart rate monitor	Eligible participants will undergo 12 weeks of physical exercise using a heart rate monitor and internet platform at home. The participants will regularly (minimum once per week) upload the exercise data from the heart rate monitor into the internet platform. An exercise telerehabilitation session consists of the warm-up phase, aerobic phase (30 - 50 minutes gradually increasing exercise duration; heart rate zone based on baseline cardiopulmonary exercise test) and cool-down phase. The exercise training period is set to 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Study participants will receive user guides developed by research team with detailed instructions regarding equipment set-up, training protocol, and contact information. Also, participants will receive weekly phone calls from week 0 to week 12 to monitor adverse events, encourage compliance and adherence to the study protocol, address any subject questions or concerns, and collect information regarding participants' current symptomatology.
