According to a research, if patients with kidney dialysis do light exercise daily, then they are physically very fit. The comparison of people who do not exercise their fitness is also very good. And they do not have to go to the hospital again and again. A team of researchers at Germany’s ‘Technical University of Munich (TUM)’ believed that if dialysis patients do light exercise daily, their fitness will be amazing. People with severe kidney failure have to go to the hospital for dialysis several times per week. Many kidney patients also suffer from additional health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
Why moderate exercise is important for kidney patients
‘The limitations imposed by these diseases and the time required for dialysis often mean that affected people do less physical exercise. We wanted to change this,’ said Martin Halle, Professor of Preventive and Rehabilitative Sports Medicine at TUM. Nearly 1,000 patients were included. In this entire research of 12 months, such patients were included who exercised at least thrice every week along with dialysis. While patients were also included who were only under medical supervision.
These special trainings were given to patients with severe kidney disease
These sessions included 30 minutes of endurance training with bed-cycle ergometer and 30 minutes of training with weights, resistance bands and balls. These training sessions were made according to the patients. This training went on for a year and the results were quite satisfactory.
In a paper published in the journal NEJM Evidence, Halle said that this type of training certainly does not reflect everyday life in particular. However, the results show tangible improvements in quality of life and autonomy. For example, participants were able to stand up from a chair at home without assistance. Which they could not do earlier.’
