Effects of home-based exercise with telehealth guidance in lymphoma cancer survivors entering cardio-oncology rehabilitation: rationale and design of the tele@home study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Participation in cardio-oncological rehabilitation is low, and the effects incline to decrease after the initial rehabilitation term. Home-based exercise has the potential to enhance involvement in cardio-oncology rehabilitation and was demonstrated to be feasible, safe, and helpful in increasing short-term cardiorespiratory fitness. The lasting effects on cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity are uncertain. Hence, a novel approach via telehealth management based on objectively measured exercise at home was proposed.

Objectives

To improve self-monitoring, such as self-confidence, behavioral change, and goal setting for individual exercise, and afterward, increase long-term effects concerning cardiorespiratory fitness.

Design

This randomized contro
