The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an exercise intervention on patient-reported anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbances among acute leukemia patients. The investigators hypothesize that exercise will reduce fatigue in acute leukemia patients.
The purpose of this randomized, prospective, longitudinal study is to evaluate the impact of an exercise intervention on patient-reported anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbances outcomes among acute leukemia patients. The study will include 2 groups for a total sample size of 30: n=15 control group and n=15 intervention group. Each patient enrolled in the intervention arm will participate in an exercise program for the duration of their hospitalization, 4-6 weeks on average during the first treatment (induction chemotherapy).

| Exercise | Other | All intervention patients will participate in an individualized prescriptive exercise intervention 2 to 4 times per week for a period of the induction chemotherapy/in-hospital recovery. The exercise intervention will begin on week 1 of the study, the day after the first batteries of initial assessments are concluded. Each exercise session will be divided into two parts. One part will be administered in the morning and the second one late in the afternoon. There will be a period of rest of at least 36 hours between each exercise session. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Compare symptoms of fatigue in newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients | Symptoms will be assessed by patient reported survey at baseline, weekly through patient hospitalization, and then again at patient's first appointment after hospital discharge. We are interested in how the symptom changes over time. | participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate health-related quality of life changes over time | Health related quality of life will be assessed by patient reported survey at baseline, and at the week 4 timepoint. We are interested in change over time between groups | participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 weeks |

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
The criteria below will be determined by the patient's physician and a review of the patient's medical history. If any of the exclusion criteria are observed, the patients will be informed and excluded from participating in the study.
Participation in this study will involve the same risks as any exercise regimen. Given the potential risks involved, patients will be screened for exclusion based upon the following criteria:
