Resistance Training Program and Cardiovascular Exercise in Increasing Muscle Mass in Adolescent and Young Adult Stem Cell Transplant Survivors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Malignant Neoplasm

In brief

This pilot trial studies how well a resistance training program and cardiovascular exercise work in increasing muscle mass in adolescent and young adult stem cell transplant survivors. Resistance training and cardiovascular exercise may increase physical activity, muscular strength and improve lean body mass which is beneficial to improving the overall health of stem cell transplant survivors.
