Brief summary
The study is a monocentric, controlled randomized trial. Its an interventional method study. There is a control and an interventional group. The interventional group is receiving a specific inspiratory muscle training with Respifit (special device for inspiratory muscle training) during the first 30 days after allogenic stem cell transplantation. The investigators want to show that the training group gets stronger inspiratory muscles. The investigators measure the change of PIMAX values and MVV values.
Interventions
Inspiratory Muscle Training with Respifit (5 times per week)
Inspiratory muscle training with a device named Respifit for patients receiving a hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (till 30 days after their transplantation)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of PI max-value from baseline at 30 days after stem cell transplantation | baseline and 30 days after stem cell transplantation | max strength of the inspiratory muscles |
| Change of MVV-value from baseline at 30 days after transplantation | baseline and 30 days after stem cell transplantation | max voluntary volume for Inspiratory muscle endurance |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| inpatient days | from baseline to maximal 60 days after stem cell transplantation |
| Incidence of pneumonia | from baseline to 30 days after stem cell transplantation |
