The effects of 6-month physical training conducted during hemodialysis in ESRD patients
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2006, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercise training during hemodialysis treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods: Fourteen maintenance hemodialysis patients participated in a six-month program of exercise training. The exercise was performed during the hemodialysis treatment on a stationary bicycle three times per week. Compliance of exercise program was about 80% of the possible sessions. Sit-to-stand-to-sit test was used to evaluate legs muscle strength at baseline, after 3, and 6 months of exercise training. Exercise capacity was assessed on the treadmill test according to Bruce’s protocol at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.Results: After the six-months of exercise program, the patients showed: a significant increase in the number of repetitions performed in sit-to-stand-to-sit test after 3 months as compared to baseline (from 23,46 to 31,67) and an increase after 6 months of exercise program (from 23,46 to 36,50); a significant increase in treadmill test time (from 6,69 to 10,20 min); a significant increase in exercise capacity in treadmill test (from 4 to 6,21 METs).Conclusion: Exercise training during the hemodialysis treatment using stationary bicycle is technically feasible and safe for the screened patients and may increase exercise capacity and leg muscles strength. Physical exercise therapy should constitute an important part of treatment of patients undergoing haemodialysis.
