Physical Activity for Myeloma Autograft Longitudinal Study
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
Summary
Physical exercises program is known to improve quality of life, chronical fatigue and appears to be a behavioural recommendation against cancer as primary and tertiary prevention. Nutritional status is also important in cancer patients: a loss of 5% of weight increases the complication risks and decreases survival and the quality of life. Interactions between physical activity and haematological malignancies are less described compared to solid cancers. Methodology and protocols are also heterogeneous. Supervised exercises program improves the physical condition and the quality of life; however there are few randomised studies versus a controlled group. Post autograft evaluation for myeloma patients showed a physical deficit with increased fat mass, but in this particular population physical exercises need to be more explored. This project is a randomised study versus controlled group that evaluates supervised physical exercises program in a homogenous population: patients under-65-years-old with multiple myeloma and who will undergo autologous stem cell transplantation.

Interventions
Physical exercises
patients will benefit regularly from a physical exercises program during their hospitalization. When going back home, they will be given a practical help kit with specific equipment (dumbbell, elastic), an actimeter with heart rate monitoring (in order to have an objective collection of the physical practice in addition to a self-evaluation) and a physical exercises program on paper and video supports, that patients would have learnt during their hospitalization.
Optional physical exercises
patients will be proposed for the physical exercises and will practice them if they want.
