Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients are able to participate in a prehabilitation program (prior to the beginning of treatment) which includes: (1) a home-based exercise program or (2) just a prehabilitation education session.

Detailed Description: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant may have the potential for severe side effects, including functional (reduced aerobic capacity, reduced muscle strength) and psychosocial (e.g. reduced quality of life, increased fatigue) detriments. Evidence shows that exercise is considered to be an effective treatment approach in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients during and after treatment with regard to the above mentioned side-effects. Also, prehabilitative exercise in colon and lung cancer patients was shown as feasible and effective. However, no experience exists with regard to prehabilitation exercise in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.
