The evidence and knowledge about physical activity and exercise recommendation in solid transplantation is growing. Physical activity and exercise play a crucial role in maintaining and improving cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength and is beneficial on short- and long-term health outcomes. Despite these health effects, maintaining daily physical activity remains a challenge for transplant candidates and recipients. In this module the most important exercise goals and recommendations in transplantation management care will be discussed.

Learning objectives:

After finalising this module, participants will be able to:

• name the benefits of physical activity and exercise before and after Solid Organ Transplantation
• recognise the differences between physical activity and exercise training before and after Solid Organ Transplantation
• recognise pre-operative exercise goals prior to Solid Organ Transplantation
• recognise post-operative exercise goals in the clinical phase after Solid Organ Transplantation
• recognise post-operative exercise goals in the post-clinical phase after Solid Organ Transplantation.
