The known benefits of exercise have proven to be of particular importance to the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population. The study of exercise in the ESRD population has been debated for more than 30 years, and numerous interventions, including aerobic training, resistance exercise training, and combined training programs, have reported beneficial effects.
Recently, interventions during hemodialysis sessions have gained popularity and have been shown to be safe. The risks of exercise in this population have not been thoroughly assessed, but to date there are no reports of serious injury as a result of participation in an exercise training program. The intensity and the duration of exercise in the available studies varies, yet, all have started with an initial moderate aerobic training progressing to vigorous training for 30 min or more three times per week for ≥8 weeks, and up to a 12 month duration (with an average of 3- 6 months).
Kindly check the link below for examples on the types and ways of exercising for an individual with CKD.
