Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a physical activity intervention in adults with lymphoma undergoing treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 6-month tailored non-linear progressive physical activity intervention (PAI) for lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods

Patients newly diagnosed with lymphoma (non-Hodgkin (NHL) or Hodgkin (HL)) were randomized into the PAI or healthy living intervention (HLI) control (2:1). Feasibility was assessed by examining accrual, adherence, and retention rates. Participants completed assessments of exercise capacity (VO₂ peak and 6-min walk distance (6MWD)), objective and self-reported levels of physical activity, MRI-derived cardiovascular functioning (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction [LVEF], stroke volume, and cardiac output), and self-reported health-related and disease-s
