Description
Garrido-Ardila and co-authors review trials of exercise during dialysis in a 2025 paper. Kidney patients on dialysis often lose muscle and grow frail. The team searched four databases for studies where adults exercised while on the machine, against rest groups. Fifteen studies passed their quality screens.
Most programs mixed aerobic work, strength work, or both. Across studies, exercise lifted physical function and muscle strength in a steady way. Body makeup, such as muscle mass share, showed no firm change. A sit-to-stand test captured the gains well. The authors say in-session exercise is a useful add-on for dialysis care, while longer trials should test dose and lasting gains.
