Fatigue is the most common and disabling symptom in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Studies in other cancer patients with fatigue have shown that exercise improves both fatigue and quality of life (QOL), but there are no such studies in AML. The investigators want to conduct a pilot study of a home-based exercise program to see if this type of exercise program is feasible for AML patients, reduces fatigue, and improves QOL. What the investigators learn from this study will be essential to designing a larger, definitive randomized trial of exercise in patients with AML.
