| Effects of aerobic exercise and resistance training on lipid profiles and inflammation status in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Afshar et al. (2010) |
21 males maintenance HD > 3 months; age > 20 years |
Aerobic and resistance training | RCT | 8 weeks | HD unit in Tehran | Blood lipids and inflammation status Blood chemistry (urea, creatinine, lipids, CRP), Kt/V and anthropometric measure in HD Result: CRP and creatinine reduction in aerobic exercise (P = 0.005) and resistance (P = 0.036), no effect on weight, urea, lipids or Kt/V |
| Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin and Exercise Training on Exercise Capacity in Hemodialysis Patients(akiba et al 1995) | 12 HD patients with low physical function and activity levels |
Exercise training & usual care | RCT | 12weeks | Tokyo, HDU | Aerobic capacity Result VO2 max (P < 0.05) and VO2AT (P < 0.05) were decreased among controls and unchanged among intervention grou |
| Effects of intradialytic cycling compared with pedometer on physical function in chronic outpatient hemodialysis: A prospective randomized trial(Clara Bohm et al 2014) | 60 Patients Ergometer group cycled for 24 weeks. Pedometer participants followed a home-based walking program for 24 weeks |
intradialytic low-intensity, strength training & stretching | RCT | 24 weeks | HDU and home setting | Primary outcome: aerobic capacity [VO2peak and 6-minute walk (6MW) Secondary outcome: Secondary outcomes included lower extremity strength, flexibility, physical activity (accelerometer) and health-related quality of life. Result: SS testing in the ergometer group improved from 10.2 (SD 3.4) to 11.4 (SD 2.5) cycles from baseline to 24 weeks (P < 0.005). Similarly, in the pedometer group, SS cycles improved from 10.1 (SD 3.3) to 12.2 (SD 3.5) (P < 0.005) No significant changes in secondary outcome |
| The effect of resistance exercise to augment long-term benefits of intradialytic oral nutritional supplementation in chronic hemodialysis patients. Dong J et al 2011 |
32 patients on HD | Resistance training plus nutrition and only nutrition in the control group | Interventional study | 6 months | HDU | Body composition, muscle strength, Biochemical parameters, recall dietary Result: No difference in lean body mass. Weight and strength increased in intervention group |
| A modified yoga-based exercise program in hemodialysis patients: A randomized controlled study (Yurtkuran M 2007) |
37 Patients on HD | yoga-based exercises versus usual care | RCT | 12 weeks | HDU | Pain, fatigue, sleep, grip strength, biochemical variables Result: Improvement in pain −37%, fatigue −55%, sleep disturbance −25%, strength +15%, Ht +13%, creatinine −14%, cholesterol −15% |
