Home-based training program for kidney transplant recipients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a structured home-based training program aimed at improving physical function in adult kidney transplant recipients who have reduced physical function prior to transplantation. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the training program or standard physical activity care, starting four weeks post-transplant and lasting for 12 weeks. The program includes cardio and strength training, with weekly follow-ups by a physiotherapist to monitor progress. The study aims to assess the impact of this intervention on physical function and frailty one year after transplantation.
