The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of intradialytic aerobic exercise on muscle capacity, functionality and motivation of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
The main question it aims to answer are:
• Is intradialytic aerobic exercise at moderate intensity effective in improving peripheral muscle function, functional status and motivation in patients with chronic kidney disease?
diagnosis of chronic kidney disease undergoing renal replacement therapy via hemodialysis
aged 20 to 65 years
low body mass index at overweight (21 kg/m2 to 29.9 kg/m2)
regular renal replacement therapy via hemodialysis for 6 months, without acute complications related to the diagnosis and/or comorbidities for the period of 3 months prior to the evaluation and intervention.
patients who do not reach a score equal to or above 20 assessed by the Mini Mental State Examination
severe heart failure according to the New York Heart Association classification
musculoskeletal alteration that prevents the correct execution of the assessment activities
who have participated in other exercise protocols in the last 6 months prior to the present study
