Title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Exercise in Lymphoma Patients
Brief Summary: Objectives: The primary objective of this trial is to determine the effect of aerobic exercise training (AET) on change in quality of life (QoL) in lymphoma survivors receiving and not receiving chemotherapy. Secondary objectives are to determine the effects of AET on changes in psychosocial outcomes, cardiopulmonary fitness, body composition, and treatment completion rates.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Non-hodgkin's lymphoma (including chronic lymphocytic leukemia) or Hodgkin's disease
* Approval of the treating oncologist
* Scheduled to receive no chemotherapy or chemotherapy for at least 8 weeks
* Able to understand and provide written informed consent in English
* 18+ years of age
* No uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac illness, psychiatric condition
* No contraindication to exercise as determined by a fitness test

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant.
* Transplant candidate.
* Unwilling to accept randomization.
* Any medical condition that would be a contraindication to exercise. The clinicians will make this decision.
* Unwilling to travel to/participate in the exercise program as defined by the protocol.
* Planned/known absence of greater than 2 weeks during the intended study period
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients that are able to speak Danish \> 18 years and newly diagnosed with acute leukæmia (MDS, AML, CMML, APL or ALL)
* Normal EKG, blood pressure and pulse
* Signed informed written consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Medical reason that contraindicates physical activity
* Patients diagnosed with a symptomatic cardial disease
* Documented bone metastasis
* Cognitively or emotionally unstable
* Unable to read or write in Danish
* Patients unable to carry out baseline tests
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* LVEF less than or equal to 35%
* New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III, or IV CHF diagnosis in the 3 months prior to study entry, with a minimum of 6 weeks of treatment
* Must be on optimal heart failure therapy according to American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC), and Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) heart failure guidelines, including treatment with angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and beta-blocker therapy, or have documentation justifying why optimal therapy is not being used, including intolerance, contraindication, participant preference, or physician's judgment
* Must be on stable doses of medications (e.g., beta-blocker, ACEI, and additional medications as listed in the study guidelines) for 6 weeks prior to study entry
* Must be in stable medical condition and able to begin an exercise program, as determined by study physician

Exclusion Criteria:

* Comorbid disease, behavioral limitations, or other limitations that would interfere with exercise training, or would prevent completion of 1 year of exercise training
* Pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the year following study entry
* Major heart event or heart procedure within the 6 weeks prior to study entry
* Heart procedure or hospitalization for any reason planned in the future
* Expecting to receive a heart transplant in the 6 months following study entry
* CHF caused by significant uncorrected primary valvular disease (except mitral regurgitation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction); if valve replacement has been performed, may not participate for 12 months following the procedure
* CHF caused by congenital heart disease or obstructive cardiomyopathy
* Performance of exercise training at regular intervals (more than once per week) at a moderate to vigorous intensity at any time in the 6 weeks prior to study entry
* Exercise testing results that would prevent safe exercise training, as defined by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) guidelines, including abnormal blood pressure response, early ischemic changes, and unexpected life-threatening arrhythmia
* Use of fixed-rate pacemakers, pacemakers with inability to attain target heart rates, or automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) devices with heart rate limits set below the target heart rate for exercise training
* Use of an intracardiac device such as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker in the 6 months prior to study entry (must demonstrate stability for 6 weeks post-procedure)
* Primary physician considers placement of an intracardiac device such as an ICD or a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker probable within 6 months of study entry; will be excluded until such device has been placed and 6 weeks of stabilization have passed
* Participation in another clinical trial that may interfere with study participation, follow-up, or data collection, or that may affect cardiovascular morbidity or mortality
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* The inclusion criteria for this study will be survivors who have had a histologically confirmed hematologic cancer, and who are between 18-80 years of age, living in Alberta, can speak and comprehend English, and willing to participate in a 12-week exercise telephone counseling intervention.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Survivors reporting greater or equal to 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise will be excluded because they will already be meeting the public health guidelines for exercise. Survivors planning to be away for more than 2 weeks during the intervention, or with major exercise contraindications will also be excluded.
