Effects of eight weeks of aerobic exercise training versus usual care on peak oxygen consumption, muscle mass, distance walked in six minutes and health related quality of life in Child Pugh clas A and B patients with cirrhosis
DownloadFall 2014
Patients with cirrhosis have reduced peak exercise oxygen uptake (peak VO2) that is associated with decreased survival. The effect of aerobic exercise training (AET) on peak VO2 has not been well studied in cirrhosis. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of...

The effect of eight weeks of home based aerobic exercise training on peak exercise oxygen consumption, six-minute walk test distance, thigh muscle mass, and health related quality of life in Child Pugh class A and B cirrhosis patients
DownloadFall 2017
Purpose: Cirrhosis patients have reduced peak aerobic power (peak VO2) that is associated with reduced survival. Supervised endurance training is an effective therapy to increase exercise tolerance in cirrhosis. The effect of home-based endurance exercise training (HET) on improving peak VO2 in...
