Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Kidney Transplant Recipients and the Effects of Home-Based Rehabilitation
Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) have an increased burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with poorer clinical outcomes; particularly cardiovascular related. The aims of this study were: (1) to compare CRF parameters in KTR and age-sex matched healthy volunteers (HV), (2) explore the CRF related effects of 12-weeks of home-based exercise rehabilitation in KTR.
