Home-based Bimodal Lifestyle Intervention in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Awaiting Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
Sponsor: University Medical Center Groningen
Summary
Chronic liver disease eventually results in liver cirrhosis and is associated with an increasing deterioration in patients' physical fitness. As there is currently limited evidence regarding the effects of a home-based exercise program in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting OLT, and physical frailty rates are particularly high in this patient population, this group has the investigators specific interest. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of a semi-supervised home-based bimodal lifestyle program, consisting of interval and endurance training and peripheral resistance training on aerobic capacity in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting OLT

Interventions
Bimodal lifestyle program
Participants will be subjected to two training periods of six weeks (or until transplantation) of a semi-supervised home-based bimodal lifestyle program. The bimodal lifestyle program consists of an exercise program combined with nutritional support. The exercise program comprises high intensity interval training and endurance training, combined with peripheral resistance training and breathing exercises
