About this trial

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?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

diagnosis of chronic kidney disease undergoing renal replacement therapy via hemodialysis

aged 20 to 65 years

low body mass index at overweight (21 kg/m2 to 29.9 kg/m2)

regular renal replacement therapy via hemodialysis for 6 months, without acute complications related to the diagnosis and/or comorbidities for the period of 3 months prior to the evaluation and intervention.

Disqualifiers

patients who do not reach a score equal to or above 20 assessed by the Mini Mental State Examination

severe heart failure according to the New York Heart Association classification

musculoskeletal alteration that prevents the correct execution of the assessment activities

who have participated in other exercise protocols in the last 6 months prior to the present study

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Aerobic exercise

    Other intervention

    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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

six minute step test

A step 20 centimeters high will be used and the patient will be instructed to go up and down it as many times during the 6 minutes, according to free cadence and will be instructed not to use the upper limbs

Time frame
12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

muscle strength

measured by dynamometry, the records will be in newtons.

Time frame

2

Daily life physical activity

number of steps for seven days by triaxial accelerometer

Time frame
12 weeks
3

Behavior Regulation Questionnaire for Physical Exercise

The questionnaire ranges from 0 to 24 for self-regulation indices and 0 to 4 for each type of regulation, namely external, introjected, identified, integrated and intrinsic regulation

Time frame
12 weeks
4

index of self-determination and basic psychological needs

The score varies from 1 to 5, with 1 being total disagreement and 5 total agreement for variables related to the link between competence and autonomy.

Time frame
