Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Graded Exercise Therapy Arm (GET)

Consists of a self-supervised individualized exercise prescription by the rehabilitation professional consisting of aerobic (e.g. brisk walking / cycling) and resistance training exercises, customized by patient preference.

OTHER

Experimental: Exercise Therapy (GET) plus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Consists of four major components adapted from previous studies,13,15,16 and delivered by qualified and trained study psychologists. First, the ABCD model of cognitive behavioural therapy (A: activating events, B: beliefs, C: consequences, D: Dispute) will be taught and applied to identify negative, unhelpful beliefs and the emotional, behavioural and physical consequences of those beliefs. Second, patients were taught behavioural strategies to manage fatigue (e.g. sleep hygiene, activity scheduling). Lastly, participants will be guided to reformulate dysfunctional cognitions regarding fatigue, improve coping strategies in relation to significant others (e.g. family, friends) and set goals.
