Overview
Brief Summary
This study aimed to compare the effect of whole body vibration versus aerobic training on interleukin 6 and endurance after renal transplantation in patients after renal transplantation.
Detailed Description
Even after a successful renal transplantation, the renal transplant recipients (RTRs) keeps on suffering the consequences of the uremic sickness such as increased cardiovascular risk, elevated level of inflammatory cytokines (IL6), decrease work capacity and quality of life. Since biological and psychological problems are not completely solved by pharmacological treatment, physical training is able both, to improve graft function, work capacity and quality of life, and to reduce cardiovascular risk Therefore, this research aims to investigate effect of the whole-body vibration versus stationary bicycle as modes of aerobic exercises on interleukin 6 in patients and the 6-minutes walk test after renal transplantation, which may reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease, produce improvement of the biology of transplantation, increase of energetic metabolism, and allows for a better quality of life in these subtypes of patients.

Arms & Interventions
whole body vibration
In this group of the study, thirty renal transplant recipients' patients will receive the whole-body vibration for, 20 minutes 3 times per week for 12 weeks after one month post renal transplantation
Intervention: whole body vibration (Device)
stationary bicycle
In this group, thirty renal transplant recipients' patients will receive aerobic exercise on stationary bicycle for 20 minutes 3 times per week for 12 weeks after one month post renal transplantation
Intervention: stationary bicycle (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
measurement of Interleukin-6
Time Frame: at baseline and 12 weeks
Before starting the study, the following procedures will be performed. The purpose of the study will be clearly explained to each patient using simple and understandable language, and a written informed consent form will be obtained from each participant as an agreement to be included in the study. A venous blood sample (5 milliliters) will be collected from each subject in a sitting position under standardized conditions. The collected samples will be transferred into sterilized tubes containing tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K3-EDTA) and heparinized tubes, which will be placed on ice and then kept at room temperature. Serum will be separated from plasma by centrifugation for 10 minutes. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels will be measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique with commercially available ELISA kits based on the immunoturbidimetric method. The normal reference range of interleukin-6 (IL-6) is 0-43.5 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).
Secondary Outcomes
- assessment of functional capacity(at baseline and 12 weeks)
- assessment of endurance(at baseline and 12 weeks)
