“…Other studies have also reported decreases in physical function and QOL after HSCT, compared to pre‐transplantation levels, in patients having undergone allo‐HSCT (Takekiyo et al., ; Wiskemann et al., ). Although the relationship between physical activity and QOL has been evaluated in patients with breast cancer (Pakiz et al., ), gastrointestinal cancer (Jensen et al., ), ovarian cancer (von Gruenigen et al., ), prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy (Santa Mina et al., ), lung cancer (Wang et al., ), head and neck cancer (Sammut, Fraser, Ward, Singh, & Patel, ), colorectal cancer (Grimmett, Bridgewater, Steptoe, & Wardle, ), and kidney cancer (Trinh, Plotnikoff, Rhodes, North, & Courneya, ), the relationship of physical activity with physical function and health‐related QOL in patients having undergone allo‐HSCT remains to be evaluated. Therefore, we investigated the differences in the intensity levels of physical activity, physical function, and health‐related QOL before and after transplantation.…”
