Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a supervised resistance exercise training during hemodialysis is effective to increase physical activity in daily life in patients with end stage renal disease.

Full description

The patients will be randomized into two groups: intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group will receive a supervised resistance exercise training, during hemodialysis, three times/week for 12 weeks, and patients allocate to the control group will received a passive stretching program during the same timeframe.

Enrollment: 29 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis for at least three months
• Sedentary for at least six months

Exclusion criteria

• Presence of physical limitations that prevent the implementation of physical tests
• Presence of severe comorbidity and unstable (unstable angina, decompensated heart failure, myocardial infarction history of the past six months, cardiac arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension with systolic blood pressure ≥ 200 mmHg and / or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 120 mmHg, diabetes decompensated, severe lung disease, acute systemic infection as well as neurological disorders, musculoskeletal and osteoarticular or other disabling conditions according to the clinical judgment)
• Hospitalization in the three months prior to study entry
