Experimental: Lymfit intervention Participants will receive a Fitbit wearable tracker, expert guidance, and a personalized exercise prescription to optimize physical activities among lymphoma survivors. The intervention is 12 weeks long, participants are meeting with a kinesiologist every 2 weeks. |
Behavioral: Lymfit intervention
Wearable activity trackers (Fitbit) were given to participants as a motivational tool and for data collection purposes. Participants received a personalized exercise prescription designed by a kinesiologist. Physiologic metrics were collected by the Fitbit monitors and were stored in the Lymfit database. Self-reported questionnaires measuring health outcomes were collected at baseline and post-intervention.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Quality of Life : changes from baseline to post-intervention [12 weeks]
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29 items The scale has 29 items which measure perceived health status along 7 domains (physical function, anxiety, depressive symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and pain interference), with items answered on five-point Likert scales. Raw scores generated for each domain will be transformed into a T score. The T score range from -0.022 to 1.0, with higher scores indicating greater endorsement of the construct being assessed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Fear of Cancer Recurrence : changes from baseline to post-intervention [12 weeks]
Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory 42 items
- Fear related to the pandemic : changes from baseline to post-intervention [12 weeks]
the Fear of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID) scale 7 items The items are rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" (1) to "strongly agree" (5) with total scores ranging from 7 to 35. Higher total scores represent higher levels of fear.
