Effects of exercise training on exercise aerobic capacity and quality of life in hemodialysis patients.

Conclusions: Dialysis patients showed impaired muscular exercise capacity, but 12 months of moderate exercise training was able to improve their physical function, aerobic capacity and quality of life. Our study suggests that mild, regular physical activity should be recommended and encouraged as an important aspect of the care of selected dialysis patients.
