Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to compare the effects of aerobic exercise with or without addition of resistance exercise to usual care in individuals treated with anthracyclines for lymphomas and to compare exercise effects to age- and sex-matched individuals with no prior history of malignant diseases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, a comparison of the exercise effects between individuals previously treated for specific lymphoma diagnoses and individuals with no history of cancer will be conducted. Therefore, in addition to a randomized controlled trial in individuals with a previous lymphoma diagnosis (i.e., exercise groups and a non-exercising control group), a reference group comprising age- and sex-matched individuals with no history of a cancer diagnosis will also be included. Participants in the reference group will undergo the same exercise intervention as the aerobic exercise group. This study recruits through invitation only.

The primary endpoint in this study is the change in cardiorespiratory fitness, assessed as VO2peak. Secondary endpoints include common risk factors for cardiovascular disease and cardiometabolic health, other variables derived from the cardiopulmonary exercise test and lung function assessments, and muscle cellular endpoints from muscle biopsies obtained from m. vastus lateralis, in addition to patient-reported outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic Exercise twice weekly for 5 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive twice weekly supervised aerobic treadmill-based exercise sessions for five months. Session duration varies from 20 to 60 minutes, including warm-up, with exercise intensity ranging from 60 to 95% of peak heart rate. Maximal exercise capacity (VO2peak and peak heart rate) will be determined by the CPET performed by certified exercise physiologists at baseline.The exercise prescription will be sequenced so that the exercise intensity and -duration of each exercise varies within each week, leading to an accumulative increase in weekly exercise volume throughout the intervention. This intervention is also given to the Active Comparator group (i.e. non-cancer reference group)

Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise

Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise twice weekly for 5 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Twice weekly, supervised combined aerobic and resistance exercise sessions will be offered to participants. Participants randomized to the combined aerobic and resistance training group will follow the same aerobic exercise prescription as described for the Aerobic Exercise arm. In addition, participants in this group will perform five resistance exercises after the aerobic sessions. The resistance exercises will be leg press, knee extension, and calf rise, followed by seated row and chest press. Following familiarization, the training load will progressively increase following a linear periodization model throughout the intervention. exercise prescription will be sequenced so that the exercise intensity and -duration of each exercise varies within each week, leading to an accumulative increase in weekly exercise volume throughout the intervention. Only Lymphoma participants can be randomized to this arm.
