Participants will be randomized 1:1 to individualized exercise prescription plus tailored dietary counselling or standard lifestyle advice. The intervention combines multidisciplinary assessment, individualized exercise programming, motivational interviewing, and nutritional counselling integrated into routine transplant follow-up. The primary endpoint is the change in 10-year cardiovascular risk, assessed by the Framingham score over 36 months. Secondary outcomes include renal function estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) 2021 equation estimated glomerular filtration rate, body composition, inflammatory markers, gut microbiota composition, health-related quality of life, adherence to physical activity and dietary counselling, hospital admissions, major adverse cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>KT-LIFESTYLE aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness and feasibility of a long-term lifestyle intervention after kidney transplantation.
