Velocity-Based Resistance Training in Kidney Transplant Recipients (NCT07370727)

Effects of Velocity-Based Resistance Training on Renal Function and Metabolic Health in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Fundación Universitaria del Area Andina

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
