Summary

This study is a randomised controlled intervention trial for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (n=32). The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of an intradialytic training with a simple bed compatible trainingstool in comparison to a control group.

Detailed description

Patients are randomised to either the intervention or control group at the beginning of the study. Both groups are evaluated at the beginning and after 2 months regarding their body composition, physical performance, fatigue and quality of life. The control group receives usual care. The intervention group receives an intradialytic exercise training with a bed compatible trainingstool.

Conditions

• Chronic Kidney Diseases
• Hemodialysis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Intradialytic exercise training	The patients in the intervention group will receive 3 months of endurance training, 2x/week for 30 min. 5 min of this should be a warm-up, 20 min of exertion and 5 min of cool down. The warm-up and cool-down should be equivalent to a very light load (Borg scale 9), whereas the exertion phase should be exhausting for the patients (Borg scale 14-15).
BEHAVIORAL	Control	Usual care
