Objective For people with hematological malignancies treated with bone marrow transplantation (BMT), this systematic review aimed to identify, evaluate, and synthesize the evidence examining the effect of exercise training on the outcomes of exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and hospital length of stay (LOS) and to identify any difference in the effect on people treated with allogeneic versus autologous transplantation. Methods Five electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to December 5, 2020. Prospective studies with a comparator group, with or without randomization, were included if they investigated the effects of an exercise intervention compared with usual care or another intervention in adults who had a hematological malignancy and were undergoing BMT. Primary outcomes of interest were functional exercise capacity and HRQoL; secondary outcomes included strength, fatigue, hospital LOS, and feasibility. Only randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analyses. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database or Newcastle-Ottawa Scale; the quality of evidence for meta-analyses was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Results Twenty-four randomized controlled trials and 3 prospective nonrandomized experimental trials were included (n = 2432). There was moderate-quality evidence that exercise improves functional exercise capacity (mean difference [MD] = 29 m; 95% CI = 12.59 to 45.4), global HRQoL (MD = 3.38 points; 95% CI = 0.37 to 6.39), and fatigue (MD = 2.52 points; 95% CI = 0.42 to 4.63) and low-quality evidence for reduced hospital LOS (MD = 2.07 days; 95% CI = 0.43 to 3.72). These effects were more pronounced in recipients of allogeneic transplantation. No serious adverse events were associated directly with exercise in the included studies. Conclusion Exercise is safe and improves outcomes, including functional exercise capacity, HRQoL, and hospital LOS in adults undergoing BMT. Impact The results of this systematic review support the implementation of exercise programs in adults undergoing BMT, particularly recipients of allogeneic transplantation.
