Summary

The investigators raised the hypothesis that exercise training would be associated with improvement in exercise tolerance and VO2 kinetics in hemodialysis patients.

Detailed description

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with several hemodynamic and peripheral muscle abnormalities which could slow the kinetics of O2 uptake(VO2)and diminished tolerance to incremental exercise. Although previous studies have shown that aerobic training is able to accelerate VO2 kinetics in several disease populations, little is known if these positive findings are also applicable to hemodialysis patients.

Conditions

• Kidney Failure, Chronic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise training	Patients included in the exercise group were submitted to intra-dialytic exercise training, 3 times per week for 12 weeks.
