Summary

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) experience muscular complications, such as sarcopenia, which worsen their functional capacity and increase mortality. Exercise programs during HD are an effective strategy to combat sedentary behavior, and implementing them through innovative technologies could facilitate their adoption in clinics, benefiting more patients. Therefore, the study's objectives are to assess the feasibility and safety of a group exercise program supported by audiovisual media conducted during HD sessions. Additionally, it will analyze factors influencing adherence, identify potential causes for interruptions or failure to perform the prescribed exercise, and evaluate the risk and prevalence of sarcopenia, its association with low muscle strength, poor muscle quality, and physical inactivity.

Detailed description

A 4-week randomized experimental study will be conducted, using an exercise protocol during HD, broadcast simultaneously on television. The frequency of exercise completion, reasons for non-completion, adverse events, as well as sarcopenia, muscle strength, muscle characteristics through ultrasound and electrical bioimpedance, and physical activity levels will be evaluated.

Conditions

• Chronic Kidney Failure
• Hemodialysis
• Sarcopenia
• Functional Capacity
• Muscle Strength Dynamometer
• Physical Activity Level

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise program supported by audiovisual media	The intervention group will perform the group exercise protocol during HD sessions. The videos with the exercises will be broadcast on all televisions simultaneously, so that the volunteers perform the exercises along with the person in the video. * The first level of difficulty includes 5 exercises for the lower limbs and 3 exercises for the upper limbs. One set of 10 repetitions will be performed for each exercise per session. * The second level includes 3 exercises for the lower limbs and 2 exercises for the upper limbs. These consist of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation diagonals for both the lower and upper limbs. One set of 10 repetitions will be performed for each exercise, once per week, for 3 weeks. * The third level includes 8 combined lower and upper limb exercises performed simultaneously. One set of 20 repetitions will be performed for each exercise. Exercises will be performed 3 times per week over a 4-week period, for a total of 12 planned exercise sessions.
