Study aim
-
The Purpose of This Study Is To Determine The Effect of the effect of One Week Regular Aerobic Training on The Production of CD34+ Hematopoietic Cells And To Promote The Homing Process of Hematopoietic Stem Cells From The Blood To The Bone Marrow, And in other words, To Determine The Bone Marrow Regeneration Capacity In Hematopoiesis After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.
-
Design
-
Patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma leukemia were divided into one of two intervention groups (aerobic exercise program and routine treatment program) or control (routine treatment program without exercise) based on a random list.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This project is carried out on blood cancer patients who are candidates for autologous bone marrow transplantation and at the blood stem cell transplant center of Taleghani Hospital in Tehran.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Included Criteria: Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation, Age Between 22 And 62 Years, Performing An Exercise Test Under The Supervision Of a Cardiologist, Karnofsky Performance (KPS) With Scores Above 90, Siutable Functional Capacity Of The Patients For Walking On The Treadmill, The Absence Of Concomitant Chronic Diseases Such as Diabetes And Respiratory Disease.
Excluded Criteria: Hemoglobin Below Eight Micrograms Per Liter, Reduction of Platelets Below 50,000, Symptoms Of Fever, Neutropenia, Bleeding, Nausea.
-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention group: Mobilization is done through the injection of granulocyte colony stimulating factor and a week of treadmill training with an intensity between 40 and 60% of the reserve heart rate for 20-30 minutes.
Control group: mobilization through routine injection of granulocyte colony stimulating factor alone and without receiving exercise intervention.

Main outcome variables
-
Counting white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets and CD34+ cells
