Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Does home-based training work in kidney transplant recipients with reduced physical function? The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if home-based training works to better physical function in adult kidney transplant recipients. It will also learn about participants preoperative physical function. The main question it aim to answer is * Does home-based training improves physical function in kidney transplant recipients. * All the participants are assessed to have reduced physical function before the transplantation Participants will: * follow either a home-based training program or todays standard of physical activity after kidney transplantation * the program starts 4 weeks after the transplantation and lasts for 12 weeks. A physiotherapist will help the participants in the beginning. * the program consists of both cardio-training, strength-straining and optional activity * the training group will be followed up every week by phone. Their activity will be documented via patients logs and heart rate monitor. * the effect of the training will be evaluated one year after the transplantation

Treatments
Experimental: Home-based training
Structured home-based training program over 12 week period (in addition to standard care). The program has been prepared by physiotherapists and starts 4 weeks after kidney transplantation. It consists of 2 sessions of strength training and 1 session of cardio training each week. In addition, optional training sessions on the other days of the week. The patients will be followed up by phone every week, heart rate monitor and patients logs. A physiotherapist will guide the patients in the beginning of the intervention period
No_intervention: Standard of care
This group will undergo standard physical training program in addition to standard care. They will be informed about the importance of regular exercise after discharge from hospital.
