Exercise after liver transplant for better recovery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether light aerobic and resistance exercises help people recover better while they are in the hospital after a liver transplant. It is for patients who are scheduled for a planned transplant and have a liver disease that also affects metabolism.

This study tests a pre-surgery exercise and nutrition program (prehabilitation) for people waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to see if getting stronger before surgery can help you recover better after the transplant.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help people who recently had a liver transplant. It compares different exercise intensities to see which works best for recovery.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (aerobic walking/cycling and high-intensity interval training) for people with interstitial lung disease who are waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type of exercise helps improve daily function and quality of life.
