Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates the effects of a whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training combined with individualized nutritional support on skeletal muscle mass, body composition, muscle strength/function, quality of life, fatigue, pain and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with hematological malignancies 4-6 weeks before and 4-6 weeks after undergoing stem cell Transplantation. Within this context, this study also investigates the effect of the nutrition and exercise intervention on the period of hospitalization, period of White blood cell recovery and frequency and severity of complications (mucositis, Graft-versus-Host-Disease, infections) after stem cell Transplantation as consequences of the therapeutic immune Suppression.
