Core Tip	Frailty negatively affects the outcomes of patients waiting for liver transplants (LTs). However, the tools used to assess frailty and functional performance vary amongst the existing studies, limiting the estimation of the real and accurate prevalence of the condition and the effectiveness of proposed treatments. So far, existing studies suggest that exercise may improve cirrhotic patients’ functional capacity and frailty while they are on the waiting list for LTs. In addition, although evidence is scarce, studies affirm that exercise training improves pre- and post-LT outcomes.
