Overview
The aim of this review is to summarize the issues associated with physical activity in lymphoma patients. Including physical activity in standard supportive care may appear trivial at first. Practice has shown however that it very difficult to implement despite. Lymphoma patients are, from the aspect of physical training application, a very heterogeneous group, comprising patients who have finished their treatment and have no special physical limitations, outpatients, patients hospitalized for an extended period due to auto/allogeneic stem cell transplantation or intensive induction treatment. Each group requires a different training methodology and different means of providing objective measurements of physical load.
Therefore, we focused on the means of monitoring the individual components of patient fitness levels with regards to feasibility in individual patient sub-groups. We also studied the factors that differentiate lymphoma patients from the healthy population and that affect both the structure and results that are to be expected from physical training intervention. We then summarized and analysed, based on individual lymphoma patient sub-groups, the results of existing studies concerned with physical training intervention.
Our results indicate that correctly implemented physical intervention may (similarly to the case in certain solid tumours) lead to increased long-term survival rates. It is, however, important to correctly define the structure of the physical training, based the given patient´s current phase of treatment, age and any other limitations, in order for physical training to be a meaningful treatment-supportive method.
Key words:
lymphoproliferative diseases – physical fitness – physical training – quality of life
