Subject: Bartlett Labs - Exercise Study FINAL CALL!



Hello,

I hope you are well 😊

We are looking for only 5 more people to participate in our exercise study: HIT-CLL. (Assessments ideally to be carried out in January and February 2025)

Primary Objective:

To determine how exercise and diet affect your physical and functional fitness (how well you can get up from your chair etc).

How these changes relate to your CLL progress, does exercise improve your immune function?

To be eligible, you should:

have a confirmed diagnosis of CLL (or small lymphocytic lymphoma)

be over the age of 18 years

be able to walk on a treadmill or cycle on an ergometer

be competent in spoken and written English.

What is required from you?

Commitment of travelling to the University of Surrey a MINIMUM of 1 initial assessment day before the 12-week intervention and 1 assessment day after the intervention – there is the option to do more.

Commitment of exercising for 3, 1-hour sessions a week, for 12 weeks either:

at the University under their supervision OR

at home, remotely under semi-supervision (we will provide you with equipment)

NOTE: you may be randomised to a Control group where guidance for physical activity and diet is provided at the beginning ONLY. If you are randomised into the control group, you have the choice to be admitted into any of the exercise groups upon completion of the control phase

Ideally, they are looking for individuals 60+ who exercise less than 3 times per week and are having difficulties getting up from the chair or walking fast, but anyone is welcome!

If you are interested or want more information, or know of someone who would be keen to take part then please do let me know 😊 – [e-mail].

This study has been issued a Favourable Ethical Opinion by the University of Surrey Ethics Committee (REF: FHMS 21-22 263 EGA).

Thanks for posting this camper 2

For any uncertain about whether or not to take part in this research, I highly recommend it. They are all most kind and there is lots of help getting started and support while you continue. I did it for 3 months in March, April and May and certainly got MUCH fitter and felt great. Eleanor

I encourage you to take part. It has helped me a great deal with fatigue management. They set the exercises at your own level and are manageable.
