Why the study?
Does weekly physical exercise of 3-5 h improve cardiorespiratory fitness and LVM in children with a successful renal transplant?
Does weekly physical exercise of 3-5 h improve cardiorespiratory fitness and LVM in children with a successful renal transplant?
Physical exercise of 3-5 hours per week normalizes cardiorespiratory fitness and left ventricular mass in pediatric renal transplant recipients compared to sedentary healthy controls.
Supports exercise programs in pediatric renal transplant recipients; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
In children with a successful renal transplant, a weekly physical exercise of 3-5 h significantly improves the cardiorespiratory fitness and the LVM, up to the level of matching healthy controls with a sedentary lifestyle (<3 h exercise per week).
