Telerehabilitation and Lymphoma Patients

Experimenteel: Home-based telerehabilitation exercise

Exercise training is conducted in the patient's home conditions using modern technology to transfer medical data remotely - the participants receive a heart rate monitor and sensor. To know what to do and how to exercise, the first (1-2) exercise training sessions will be controlled by the physiotherapist in a rehabilitation clinic in the hospital, who creates individual exercise training for each patient. The patient's training data will be downloaded and updated regularly via the internet platform and clinicians will evaluate these results and provide patients with telephone feedback.

Apparaat: 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.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)

Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during the cardiopulmonary exercise test

Body composition (Total muscle mass in kilograms)

Total muscle mass is the amount of muscle in body, including skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles. Total muscle mass will be measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Body composition (Body fat mass in kilograms)

Body fat mass is the actual weight of fat in body. Body fat mass will be measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Body composition (Body weight in kilograms)

Body weight is the measurement of weight without items located on the person. Body weight will be measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events assessed by 5 grade scale

Participants will be encouraged to use the contact details for reporting the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events at any time throughout the study period. The type, incidence, and severity of adverse events by scale (Grade 1: Mild, asymptomatic or mild symptoms; Grade 2: Moderate, minimal; Grade 3: Severe or medically significant; Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5: Death) will be noted

Exercise adherence

Exercise adherence is defined as number of exercise sessions attended of a possible 36 offered by the exercise intervention program. Exercise adherence will be determined by participant exercise web datasheet review at 12 weeks.

Exercise compliance

Number of participants who attend atleast 70% of prescribed exercise sessions measured by exercise datasheet at 12 weeks. (70% of prescribed exercise sessions = 25 exercise sessions in 12 weeks)
