EFFICACY OF SUPERVISED 6-MONTH AEROBIC AND RESISTANCE EXERCISE PROGRAM IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aerobic and resistance exercise training for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Three patients with CKD stage 2, 3, and 4 performed aerobic exercise for 30 minutes on a bicycle ergometer with a workload within the anaerobic threshold and performed resistance exercise for a maximum of 10 repetitions. Each patient performed the aerobic and resistance exercise training twice a week for 6 months under supervision. No deterioration of renal function was observed in any of the 3 patients. In addition, decreases in urine protein excretion and blood pressure were observed in all patients. Consequently, body function, physical activity performance, and lipid profiles were also improved. Therefore, our aerobic and resistance exercise program can be performed safely and may be considered useful for patients with CKD, although the efficacy of the protocol needs to be confirmed in a large number of patients.
