Study Summary
This trial will test the effects of exercise on sarcopenia and frailty.
Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The study is testing two types of exercises: pulmonary rehabilitation and a home-based video strengthening program. The goal is to see how these exercises affect muscle wasting and weakness in people with end-stage liver disease awaiting transplantation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial does not involve medication and focuses on exercise programs which are generally safe; fatigue, muscle soreness or injury could occur. Participants with advanced liver disease may also be at risk of exacerbating their condition if they overexert themselves.
