| BCT label | BCT no. (BCTT v1) | Component of intervention |
| Goal setting (behaviour) | 1.1 | Overarching goal of exercise programme for all participants is to exercise three times per week. Participants also supported to define own personal subgoals, which are recorded in log book. |
| Problem-solving | 1.2 | Enablers, barriers and solutions to barriers completed with physiotherapist and recorded in log book. Problem-solving with physiotherapist if discrepancy between current behaviour and goal is identified. |
| Action planning | 1.4 | Attendance at supervised exercise session in gym planned for specific day each week. Participants are also supported to plan independent exercise sessions (eg, time/day of the week) with physiotherapist. These plans are recorded in log book prior to planned execution. |
| Review behaviour goal | 1.5 | Participants review performance of exercise sessions recorded in log book against planned goals and consider modifying goals accordingly with physiotherapist in supervised exercise sessions. |
| Discrepancy between current behaviour and goal | 1.6 | Physiotherapist informs participant if there is a discrepancy between current behaviour and goal. |
| Feedback on behaviour | 2.2 | Feedback on performance of exercise programme delivered by physiotherapist during supervised exercise sessions (phases 1 and 2) and telephone calls (phase 3). |
| Self-monitoring of behaviour | 2.3 | Participants asked to record exercise carried out each week in log book. Heart rate monitoring used in supervised and independent exercise sessions to monitor behaviour being carried out at target intensity. |
| Biofeedback | 2.6 | Heart rate monitoring of aerobic exercise effort. |
| Instruction on how to perform the behaviour | 4.1 | Supervised exercise sessions with physiotherapist who instructs/teaches participant how to perform behaviour. |
| Information about health consequences | 5.1 | Physiotherapist and log book provide information about effects of exercise for health in context of myeloma. |
| Monitoring of emotional consequences | 5.4 | Participants encouraged to complete weekly reflections in log book. |
| Information about emotional consequences | 5.6 | Physiotherapist and log book provide information about effects of exercise on emotional well-being. |
| Demonstration of the behaviour | 6.1 | Physiotherapist demonstration and teaching of exercise programme in supervised sessions. |
| Behavioural practice/rehearsal | 8.1 | Exercises taught/demonstrated in supervised sessions are practiced within those sessions and independent sessions (phases 1 and 2). |
| Generalisation of target behaviour | 8.6 | Advice to perform exercise programme, learnt in supervised session, in independent sessions, during hospital admission and post-discharge. |
| Graded tasks | 8.7 | Progression of exercise sessions throughout exercise period. |
| Credible source | 9.1 | Education and prompting from a physiotherapist with expertise in myeloma/haematology and provided in log book. |
| Pros and cons | 9.2 | Prompts to consider advantages and disadvantages of exercising through discussion with physiotherapist and recording in log book. |
| Adding objects to the environment | 12.5 | Provision of heart rate monitors, resistance exercise bands and exercise programme sheets/log book for use in independent sessions. |
| Verbal persuasion about capability | 15.1 | Verbal support and supervision of physiotherapist to encourage exercise sessions before, during and after transplant treatment. |
