This study is examining whether a virtually supervised exercise program can improve physical function in persons who are awaiting kidney transplant. The investigators will compare the results to a similar group of persons who receive a health education program.
This study is examining if a virtually supervised exercise program can improve physical function in persons awaiting kidney transplant. A double-blind, parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial, this study will enroll 80 persons for 24 weeks.
