Velocity-Based Resistance Training in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Sponsor: Fundación Universitaria del Area Andina
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of velocity-based resistance training on renal function and metabolic health in kidney transplant recipients. Participants will be randomized into two groups performing resistance training at different execution velocities (maximal intended vs. submaximal controlled). The intervention will last 12 weeks and include multi-joint exercises (squat, bench press, military press). Primary outcomes include renal function (serum creatinine, eGFR, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid) and metabolic markers (HDL, triglycerides, glucose, waist circumference, blood pressure). Secondary outcomes include muscle strength, force-velocity profile, anthropometry, physical activity, fitness perception, and adherence to immunosuppressive medication.

Interventions
Velocity-Based Resistance Training - Submaximal Velocity Protocol
A 12-week supervised resistance training program performed 3 sessions per week. Exercises will include bench press, squat, and shoulder press in Smith machine. Participants will execute each repetition at \~50% of maximal concentric velocity, with sets completed according to predetermined repetitions (20-30 depending on load, 20-60% 1RM).
Velocity-Based Resistance Training - Maximal Velocity Protocol
A 12-week supervised resistance training program performed 3 sessions per week. Exercises will include bench press, squat, and shoulder press in Smith machine. Participants will execute each repetition at maximal concentric velocity, with sets terminated at 20% velocity loss. Training loads will increase progressively (20-60% 1RM).
