About

The HILT study is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial comparing a high-intensity exercise training intervention with usual care among adult lung transplant recipients. Patients randomized to the training intervention arm will undergo individually tailored high-intensity exercise training (80-95% of maximum heart rate) three hours per week for 20 weeks. Training will be conducted at local fitness centers on a one-on-one basis.
