March 31, 2015 updated by: Peter Bader, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital

Physical Exercise Therapy in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation (BISON- Bewegungstherapie in Der Pädiatrischen Stammzelltransplantation)

The purpose of this randomized controlled two-part study examines the effects of a structured sports intervention before, during and after hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (hsct) in children and adolescents.

The main aspects in the sports groups are resistance, endurance and flexibility training. The control group performs a mental training as well as relaxation exercises.
