Study Details

Brief summary:

This study is a preliminary study to assess whether it is possible to introduce an exercise program for BMT patients after discharge from hospital. The exercise program will include 3 endurance (stationary bike, walking) and 2 resistance (weights, stretch bands) training sessions/week, until 100 days after BMT. Our second plan is to test changes in QoL, aerobic fitness, muscle strength, total body fat and mineral composition, and blood immune markers with exercise in the 100 days after BMT. The investigators anticipate this study will improve the QoL, mobility, and strength of patients after BMT, therefore allowing a faster and healthier recovery.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Exercise Intervention

At discharge from the inpatient unit, participants will receive a practical introduction by an exercise specialist and enrolled in the 12-week exercise intervention

Interventions

Exercise Intervention

The semi-supervised intervention is a progressive program with a goal of three aerobic and two resistance exercise sessions per week. Aerobic exercise will consist of 20-40 minutes of bicycling using a stationary bike located on CP6 (supervised or un-supervised) or brisk walking at home. Resistance exercise will include exercise for the upper and lower extremities with stretch bands. Patients will complete at least one supervised aerobic and resistance session per week with the exercise trainer and complete a daily log of their exercise, including adherence, adverse events and symptoms.

Primary outcome measure

  • Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Approximately 12-weeks ]
