Exercise Training for Blood Cancers Survivorship
(S-POP Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training on several domains of health including physical function, cognitive function, mental health, and quality of life in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). In addition, the project will determine the effects of 12 weeks of HIIT and resistance training on physical function, caregiver strain, mental health, and caregiver confidence in individuals who are providing care for patients undergoing HCT.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Exercise training for blood cancers survivorship?
Is exercise training safe for people with blood cancers?
How does exercise training differ from other treatments for blood cancers?
Exercise training is unique because it focuses on improving physical and psychological well-being through physical activity, rather than using medication or surgery. It is generally safe and feasible, offering benefits like reduced fatigue and improved muscle function, but more research is needed to establish specific guidelines for its use in blood cancer patients.79101112
