Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) in renal transplant recipients during an unsupervised physical exercise program

Muscle weakness, incorrect body water distribution and reduced exercise tolerance are the main characteristics found in renal transplant recipients after surgical treatment. Regular physical supervised exercise programs, at moderate intensity, have been promoted to contrast these aspects, while few data are available for long-term unsupervised mixed exercise plans. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) provides a semi-quantitative...
