Summary

This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve recovery and survival in people aged 60 and older receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. Participants will exercise before and after their transplant, with compliance tracked by activity monitors. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible, with secondary goals including hospital stay length and survival rates.
