Effects of physical exercise and regular training in renal transplantation

Purpose:Regular physical exercise contrasts metabolic syndrome. The study aims to assess the effects after 6 months of individualized moderate exercise training program,in renal solid organ recipients. Methods:14 renal transplant recipients were submitted to Cardiopulmonary Test, echocardiographic exam, ca skin fold, bioimpedance analysis and test of strength for the lower anf higher limbs .Exercises consisted in 30 minutes of aerobic training , 3 times a week, and 2 sets of 20 repetitions at 35% of the maximum load for each. Results:EF is significantly enhanced. The anaerobic threshold improved . Skin folds were significantly reduced at pectoral level. Conclusion:A short period of mixed aerobic and resistance exercise , improves cardiovascular performance and reduces risks factors linked to the visceral fat. Any other effects on other will need of a longer follow - up .
