Effects of physical exercise in patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: systematic review and meta-analysis
Physical exercise improves functional capacity and lower limb strength in transplant patients, while effects on quality of life and fatigue are less consistent. Longer interventions are associated with greater improvements in fatigue. These results support the implementation of prolonged exercise programmes to optimize post-transplant recovery.
