An individualized exercise training program based on daily clinical parameters is feasible for hospitalized patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This intervention warrants further investigation in a randomized controlled trial. Implications for rehabilitation The individualized in-hospital exercise training program guided by daily clinical, hemodynamic and hematologic parameters is feasible, safe and with good adherence in people undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. People undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve functional capacity and upper and lower limb muscle strength following in-hospital exercise training program. The individualized in-hospital exercise training program could tentatively be introduced as part of the rehabilitation process in people undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
