A healthy dose of exercise is a good medicine, also receive chemotherapy for lymphoma patients, said Kerry Courneya, Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Cancer in the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at the University of Alberta. The healthy exercise for lymphoma patients study, a three-year study by Courneya published last month in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, led found that treatment with aerobic exercise significant improvements in physical function and overall quality of life benefits in patients with produced lymphoma. The researchers recruited 122 patients with Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, then participants classified by disease type and treatment status, whether they receive undergoing chemotherapy at the time no treatment or. Participants were randomized to a training program designed to associated cardiovascular fitness or to care, but not to maximize an exercise component. “The exercise program consisted of interval training,” said Courneya. “We had people who ride on the bike at a moderate intensity, interspersed with high intensity of the exercise fights, where they would go in full, the greatest possible effort for a minute or two at a time, then rest for a few minutes then before do it again. This type of interval training has been shown actually to maximize improvements in fitness. “Exercisers trained three times per week for 12 weeks and were encouraged to stay the course with support behavior change techniques, < b>. . .
