Effects of Intradialytic Aerobic Exercise in Chronic Kidney Patients
Sponsor: University of the State of Santa Catarina
Summary
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?

Aerobic exercise
The training group will receive aerobic exercise and the intensities will be controlled considering the percentage of estimated maximum heart rate. The training will be performed with a cycle ergometer with a total of 40 minutes of intradialytic aerobic exercise in the training group. To reduce the effects of intolerance to aerobic exercise, a week of adaptation will be performed, with a frequency of three sessions, in the first two hours of hemodialysis, lasting 40 minutes at maximum heart rate intensity of up to 74% and BORG up to 4 (low intensity). Afterwards, the patients will perform the prediction training for 12 weeks, at the frequency of three training sessions per week in the first two hours of hemodialysis. Each training session will start with a 5-minute warm-up at low intensity, 30 minutes of main training with maximum heart rate intensity 55% to 74% and BORG 5 to 7 (moderate intensity) and will end with a 5-minute cool-down at low intensity.
