Renal transplant recipients experience troublesome side effects of the immunosuppression medication, many of which may be attenuated or ameliorated with regular physical activity. Preliminary data show that exercise training after transplantation increases exercise capacity and muscle strength and may contribute to higher quality of life after transplantation.
