What was measured

Hemoglobin Levels were measured at baseline, before peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), during PBSCT and at hospital discharge.

Analysis population: For the exercise group 8 participants who entered the study were not included in the analysis (2 withdrew from myeloma treatment, 1 died, 5 withdrew from study). For the usual care group 7 were not included in the analysis (3 withdrew from myeloma treatment, 1 died, 3 withdrew from study).

Groups in this outcome

Usual Care

Participants received standard care for multiple myeloma which included: For the Short term study: Total Therapy II Chemotherapy Regimen (See Protocol) and Stem Cell Harvest. For the Long term study: Total Therapy II Chemotherapy Regimen (See Protocol) and melphalan with autologous peripheral-blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). For both the short and long term studies, red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusions were administered as needed, in addition to Epoetic Alfa (EPO) when hemoglobin levels dropped during high dose chemotherapy. The usual EPO dose is 150 units/kg of body weight, three times per week, or 40,000 units weekly, with suggested target hemoglobin range of 10-12 g/dl. Study participants were asked to remain as active as possible but not prescribed an individualized exercise program. Participants were stratified by thalidomide administration and by age (\<=60 versus \>60).Participants who received thalidomide also received low-molecular weight heparin

The usual EPO dose is 150 units/kg of body weight, three times per week, or 40,000 units weekly, with suggested target hemoglobin range of 10-12 g/dl. Study participants were computer randomized to an individualized exercise program that incorporated aerobic and strength resistance training. Participants were stratified by thalidomide administration and by age (\<=60 versus \>60). Participants who received thalidomide also received low-molecular weight heparin.
