Summary

The investigators intend to recruit 50 patients into an intradialytic exercise study that will measure the impact of resistance bands exercises under the guidance of an exercise physiologist on the physical function of hemodialysis patients.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study will be to test the feasibility and efficacy of a 3 month exercise physiologist consultation program. Specifically, the investigator's aims will be to: 1. Test the feasibility of a 3-month exercise physiologist led program 2. Measure the effect of an exercise physiologist collaboration and intradialytic exercise on the physical function of HD patients using the 30 second STS test, handgrip strength test \[required for frailty scale\], 8-foot TUG test and patient physical activity based off of the Low Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Conditions

• End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis
• Frail Elderly Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise Plan using resistance bands	Exercise under the guidance of an exercise physiologist using elastic resistance bands and weekly meeting with an exercise physiologist for 12 weeks
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Modified Fried Frailty Scale	Patients will be screened for frailty pre and post with sit-to-stand test, timed up and go test, handgrip strength test and administered the low physical activity questionnaire. These components together consist of the Modified Fried Frailty Index.
