Effect of a Concurrent Physical Exercise Program in Hemodialysis Patients

Effect of a Concurrent Physical Exercise Program on Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients: Uncontrolled Clinical Trial

Concurrent physical exercise is the method of combining strength and endurance that can be worked with in one session or in an exercise program. Therefore, the researchers seek to implement it in patients suffering from chronic renal failure with hemodialysis therapy and see if concurrent physical exercise improves quality of life levels and at the same time see the response of physical fitness, body composition and biochemistry.

Introduction: The performance of physical exercise has positive effects in terms of quality of life, but when it is not performed consistently it triggers a sedentary lifestyle, which is reflected in overweight and obesity, in addition to developing chronic noncommunicable diseases, propitiating chronic kidney disease, which although, hereditary and environmental factors are also present in this pathology and as the disease progresses, chronic renal failure develops. Objective: To analyze the effect of a concurrent physical exercise program on quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: Uncontrolled clinical trial in which a concurrent physical exercise program will be carried out for 6 weeks, performing physical evaluations such as 6-minute walk and manual strength by dynamometer, application of SF-36 questionnaires, measurement of urea, glucose, creatinine and albumin, in addition to analyzing body composition by electrical bioimpedance.
