Registry summary

Does home-based training work in kidney transplant recipients with reduced physical function?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if home-based training works to better physical function in adult kidney transplant recipients. It will also learn about participants preoperative physical function. The main question it aim to answer is

  • Does home-based training improves physical function in kidney transplant recipients.
  • All the participants are assessed to have reduced physical function before the transplantation

Participants will:

  • follow either a home-based training program or todays standard of physical activity after kidney transplantation
  • the program starts 4 weeks after the transplantation and lasts for 12 weeks. A physiotherapist will help the participants in the beginning.
  • the program consists of both cardio-training, strength-straining and optional activity
  • the training group will be followed up every week by phone. Their activity will be documented via patients logs and heart rate monitor.
  • the effect of the training will be evaluated one year after the transplantation
