Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to prove the effects of a individualized prehabilitation program (muscular strength and endurance) in patients in a waiting list for a transplant. The investigators want to see if patients that did a prehabilitation program have better results in the postoperative period.
Detailed Description
Some characteristics of the fragile people, like as sarcopenia, are related with worse results after a transplant. Increasing the cardiorespiratory fitness with an exercise program during the preoperative period has shown improvements in patients after a surgery. It is produced a decreased in his functions, including a loss of muscle mass. Prehabilitation is a exercise program before a surgery. This program will improve the patient's starting functional status and therefore recovery. Physical activity is one of the most powerful predictors of mortality risk. Several studies say that a improved cardiorespiratory fitness by exercise before a surgery has a great impact in the patients after the intervention in short and long term.
