What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the factors that affect exercise capacity in kidney transplant recipients. The study focuses on understanding what determines the distance covered in the 6-minute walk test among these patients. It aims to provide insights into exercise ability and related respiratory and muscle functions in this population. This observational study involves patients who have had a kidney transplant at least six months prior and do not have regular exercise habits. There are no drug treatments or interventions being tested. Participants will undergo assessments including the 6-minute walk test and measurements of respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and muscle function on the first day of evaluation. Participants will be evaluated for exercise capacity, respiratory and muscle function, and physical activity levels. The primary outcomes measured are exercise capacity, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and muscle function, all assessed on the first day. Physical activity is a secondary outcome. The study is sponsored by Hacettepe University and is scheduled to continue until May 2025.
