Less than half of the participants were meeting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week prior to initiating treatment, which is similar to previous multiple myeloma studies (Craike, Hose, Courneya, Harrison, & Livingston, 2013; Jones et al., 2006). None of the participants had taken part in vigorous activity before their diagnosis, and this may be for a variety of reasons, including not being motivated to exercise, symptoms of leukemia that impeded their ability to exercise, or not having time to exercise. The short- and long-term goal is to avoid inactivity and to encourage patients to return to their activities as quickly as possible (Bergenthal et al., 2014). Most leukemia cases occur in older adults—with the mean age being 55 in the current sample—and recommendations for how to appropriately encourage physical activity in this population are vague. Burhenn, Bryant, and Mustian (2016) provided a detailed review of potential exercise recommendations for oncology providers who are involved in functional assessment and intervention, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, recreational therapists, exercise physiologists, and RNs.
