NCT04636255

Brief Summary

The study aims to investigate if physical capacity obtained in the cardiopulmonary exercise test can predict cardiovascular alterations in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) Survivors. In addition, to study the effects of exercise training on physical capacity and cardiovascular responses in these patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Physical Capacity - Peak oxygen consumption (mL/kg/min)

    Oxygen consuption in crescent effort will be calculated by aggregation of volume (mL), body weight (Kg) and time (minutes).

    4 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Heart Hate (beat/min)

    4 months

  • Cardiac Function - Ejection Fraction

    4 months

Study Arms (2)

Exercise training group

Control Group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Patients will be only clinically followed up. They will not perform exercise training.
