NCT ID NCT04922970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 16-week strength training program can prevent or reduce late effects like muscle loss, heart disease, and diabetes in adults who had a bone marrow transplant as children. 28 survivors and a matched control group participated. The goal was to see if exercise can improve muscle mass and metabolic health, potentially leading to better long-term quality of life.
