Effects of intradialytic exercise in diabetic and non-diabetic hemodialysis patient´s physical function and body composition

End-stage renal disease and hemodialysis treatment (HD) are related with poor physical function (PF) and body composition (BC). This situation is particularly severe in HD diabetic patients. Previous studies have shown that PF and BC are related with mortality in this specific population. This study...

Description
Summary:End-stage renal disease and hemodialysis treatment (HD) are related with poor physical function (PF) and body composition (BC). This situation is particularly severe in HD diabetic patients. Previous studies have shown that PF and BC are related with mortality in this specific population. This study aims to analyze the effect of an intradialytic exercise program (IEP) on PF and BC of diabetic and non-diabetic HD patients. An IEP was implemented in 19 dialysis units. Here, Barros and Martins evaluate PF (sit to stand 30, handgrip strength, 8-foot up and go, sit to stand 5, single leg stance) and BC (bioimpedance - Body Composition Monitor) before and after 6 months. The IEP include aerobic training (cycling) during the first quarter. After this period the program combined aerobic and strength training. Diabetics had a worse performance in all PF tests and also a poorer BC compared to non-diabetics HD patients. Both groups had a good adherence rate to exercise sessions.
