Effects of a Novel Physical Exercise Program in Patients With Cirrhosis (the LFN-exercise Protocol) (LFN-EP)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effects of a structured exercise (The LFN-exercise protocol) program plus diet, on cerebral hemodynamics (cerebral blood flow) and hepatic hemodynamics (portal pressure), as well as on nutritional status (body composition and nutritional markers) in order to facilitate the prescription of exercise in patients with cirrhosis.
