Virtual Exercise Program

for Kidney Failure

The goal of this RCT is to address the feasibility of conducting a 12-week virtual pre-habilitation intervention, which includes exercise and education, in kidney transplant candidates. The intervention also includes a 5-month maintenance phase with independent home exercises (maximum of 8 months of intervention/ended early if the participant undergoes a kidney transplant). The main questions it aims to answer are: * estimate the proportion of screened patients who meet eligibility criteria * estimate the proportion of eligible patients who consent to randomization * estimate the proportion of patients who adhere to the interventions * estimate follow-up completion rates * inform the calculation of sample size requirements for a full-scale RCT * assess the acceptability of the intervention by the participants. Participants in the control group will receive usual outpatient care.
