N2 - The aim of this study was to investigate whether post exercise carbohydrate intake improves training effect in the first postoperative days, in patients who have had a primary total knee or hip arthroplasty. Subjects were primary total hip (THA) (n=18), and total knee arthroplasties (TKA)(n=25) patients randomized to consume 30 g maltodextrin or placebo within 15 minutes after each training session as a supplement to the standard diet. The outcome measures were six minute walk test (6-MWT), number of completed training sessions, training intensity, and duration
