What specific exercise training is most effective exercise training method for patients on maintenance hemodialysis with sarcopenia: a network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of different exercise methods on sarcopenia patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) by conducting a network meta-analysis.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases were searched online for relevant articles published until May 2024. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 10 articles that compared the effects of 7 exercise interventions on sarcopenia patients receiving MHD.

Results

The results of network meta-analysis showed that resistance training (RT) [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 4.54; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.27-5.80] significantly improved the handgrip strength (HGS)
