Effect of Aerobic and Resistive Exercises During Hemodialysis on Atherogenic Index in Adults Aged 40 to 60 With Chronic Kidney Disease

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how aerobic and resistive exercises affect the atherogenic index in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This randomized controlled trial includes sixty men and women aged 40 to 60 years who receive maintenance hemodialysis three times a week. The study aims to compare the impact of different exercise types on cardiovascular risk factors in these patients. Participants are divided into three groups. The first group will perform moderate-intensity aerobic exercise using a cycle ergometer during the first half of their dialysis session, three times a week for 12 weeks. The second group will engage in moderate-intensity resistive training with ankle weights, also three times per week for 12 weeks. The third group will perform circulatory ankle pump exercises without additional resistance and will be evaluated at the start and end of the study. Throughout the study, patients will be monitored and evaluated for changes in their atherogenic index after three months. Assessments include exercise sessions integrated into their dialysis treatments, with warm-up and cool-down phases. The study follows ethical guidelines, and patients provide informed consent before participating. The total participation duration is 12 weeks with regular exercise sessions during dialysis.
