The Effect of Calisthenic Exercise on Aerobic Capacity, Muscle Strength and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients: a Single-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Trial
The Effect of Calisthenic Exercise on Aerobic Capacity, Muscle Strength and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients: a Single-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Trial
The aimed this study is to examine the effects of calisthenic exercises on aerobic capacities, muscle strength and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
The study is a randomized single-blind placebo-controlled study. . At the beginning and end of the study, all patients will be asked to answer questions including demographic information and a quality of life questionnaire for kidney patients. A 6-minute walking test and a 30-second sit-stand test will be applied by the research physiotherapist to measure their aerobic capacity. Again, a dynamometer will be used to measure muscle strength.
The hypotheses the investigators will test for this purpors; H0 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases aerobic capacity. H1Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases muscle strength.H2 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients improves the quality of life.
