Objective To retrieve, evaluate, and integrate the best evidence on physical activity in kidney transplant recipients, and to provide a basis for clinical care plans for renal transplant recipients. Methods Computer searches of literature (guidelines, recommended practices, systematic reviews, and expert consensus reports) on physical activity in kidney transplant recipients, was conducted. Results A total of 18 publications （5 guidelines, 10 systematic reviews, and 3 expert consensus reports） were included. Twenty-two evidence entries were extracted and factored into 6 aspects (pre-exercise assessment, physical activity time and frequency, physical activity intensity, physical activity program, physical activity location, and physical activity in special kidney transplant recipients). Conclusion This study summarizes the best evidence for physical activity in kidney transplant recipients and provides an evidence-based perspective for clinical providers to target physical activity in post-transplant recipients.
