Brief Summary: The goal of this randomised clinical trial open label is to test the effect of supervised aerobic and resistance exercises in chronic liver disease patients being planned for living donor liver transplantation LDLT The main question it aims to answer are

If pre-operative supervised aerobic and resistance exercise for 4 weeks can improve the measures of frailty Liver frailty index Short physical performance battery pulmonary function tests in chronic liver disease patients being planned for LDLT
Can this approach also translate into clinically significant benefits in the postoperative outcomes of LDLT

Participants will be randomised into two groups receiving either

1 Standard medical therapy along with supervised aerobic and resistance exercises for 4 weeks
2 Standard medical therapy The two groups will be compared for progression of the measures of frailty ver the course of their participation as well as their post LDLT outcomes
Detailed Description: 1 Aim and Objective - Primary objective To assess effects of pre-operative aerobic and resistance exercises in decompensated CLD patients planned for LDLT on the measures of frailty after 1 month of supervised exercise

Secondary objectives To assess effects of pre-operative aerobic and resistance exercises in decompensated CLD patients planned for LDLT on the post LDLT outcomes myostatin levels on POD 14 and skeletal muscle mass on POD14
2 Methodology

Study population - Consecutive voluntary adults 18 years with chronic liver disease planned for living donor liver transplantation fulfilling the conditions as per inclusion and exclusion criteria
Study design - Interventional study- Open label randomised controlled trial
Study period - From time of ethical clearance till 31st December 2024
Sample size - Assuming median LFI for CLD patients as 39 03 and assuming an improvement of 5 with introduction of exercise along with SMT after 1 follow up and keeping alpha of 5 and power of study as 90 with 11 ratio of cases and controls then by method of change we need to enroll a total of 54 patients with 27 in each arm Assuming 10 non compliance a total of 60 cases will be enrolled with 30 cases in each arm
Intervention - Pre-operative supervised exercise-based regimen versus standard medical therapy alone for a minimum duration of 4 weeks
Monitoring and assessment - Clinical profile of the patient and symptoms will be serially followed during the patients OPD visits
Adverse effects - Exercise may aggravate encephalopathy metabolic disorders AKIHRS It may also lead to falls due to cardio-pulmonary intolerance or hepatic encephalopathy
Stopping rule - Inability to follow the exercise schedule or development of any of the adverse effects due to exercise as mentioned above
3 Expected outcome of the project Better values of measures of frailty and post LDLT outcomes in patients receiving pre-operative concurrent exerises as an intervention
