Cognitive Function After Stem Cell Transplantation

The trial will evaluate the effects of an exercise program on the physical and cognitive performance of patients with hematological neoplastic diseases after high dose chemotherapy with stem cell support.

Patients (n = 60) will be randomized to an exercise or a control group. The randomization will be stratified for allogeneic or autologous blood stem cell transplantation. Patients in the exercise group will carry out an endurance training consisting of walking on a treadmill at a speed corresponding to 80% of the maximum heart rate. The exercise program will be carried out 3 times weekly for 8 weeks. Patients in the control group will receive counseling about exercise and behavioural techniques to reduce fatigue, but they will not participate at a structured exercise program. Physical performance (VO2max), cognitive function, mood and quality of life will be evaluated at recruitment and after 8 weeks.
