Overview of the strength exercise program in the Randomized Controlled Trial in Chronically Fatigued Lymphoma Survivors trial.

Strength exercise	Weeks 1 and 2 (familiarization)	Weeks 3 and 4	Weeks 5 to 12
Reps × sets per exercise	8 to 12 repetitions; 1 to 2 sets per exercise	8 to 12 RMa; 1 to 2 sets per exerciseb	8 to 12 RM; 2 to 3 sets per exercisec
Subjective experience; RPEd (1-10)	Light, focus on correct technique	Hard; 8-10	Hard; 8-10

^aRM: repetition maximum, the load that induces technique failure in 8 to 12 repetitions.

^bWeek 1 to 4: push-ups, rowing, and dead bugs are performed in 1 set, and squats in 2 sets.

^cWeek 5 to 12: push-ups, rowing, and dead bugs are performed in 2 sets and squats in 3 sets.

^dRPE: rate of perceived exertion.
