Home-based exercise and PHysical activity maintenance interventiOn after livEr traNsplantation: Impact of eXercise intensity (PHOENIX-Liver).

ABSTRACT: Liver transplant recipients experience comorbidities, including impaired physical fitness, which could be managed by exercise and physical activity interventions. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a 6-month exercise intervention, followed by a 15-month tailored physical activity maintenance intervention, in de novo liver transplant recipients. This single-centre, randomised, controlled, single-blinded trial will recruit 147 adult liver transplant recipients at 3-5 months post-transplant. Participants will be randomised into (1) 6 months of enhanced usual care, not followed by a physical activity intervention (control (CON) group, n=49), (2) 6 months of moderate-intensity exercise training, followed by a physical activity intervent
