Intradialytic resistance training for short daily hemodialysis patients as part of the clinical routine: a quasi-experimental study.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose: Hemodialysis patients have chronic systemic inflammation, musculoskeletal impairments, and body composition changes from several factors and exercise may attenuate. We evaluated the effects of an intradialytic resistance training program on body composition, physical function, and inflammatory markers in patients under short daily hemodialysis treatment. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study in clinical routine was conducted over eight months. Measures of physical function (handgrip strength, five-time sit-to-stand, timed-up and go, and gait speed), body composition (by bioelectrical impedance), and inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, and tumor necrosis factor-α) were assessed at baseline as well as a
