What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of the study is to investigate the short-term (within 2 weeks) effects of resistance exercise with and without compression garments on lower limb lymphedema(LLL). Additionally, the study will explore the immediate response in LLL to resistance exercise (2 hours and 24 hours post-exercise). Participants will continously wear a circumfencential sensor at the calf (CIMON from Icompression) under a compression garment and an activity tracker (SENS Motion from SENS Innovation Aps) at the thigh for 3 periods (two with supervised exercise sessions of 2 weeks and one control period). Participants will attend supervised resistance exercise 2-3 times per week for 2 periods of 2 weeks (one with compression garment and one without). Assessments with the principal investigator will be scheduled before and after every 2 week period. Participants will keep a digital diary or diary in paper of
