What did studies of Intra-dialytic aerobic training find?

4

Studies of Intra-dialytic aerobic training measured 4 outcomes; the most studied are quality of life (1 study), dialysis clearance (1) and 6-minute walk distance (1).

Quality of life

  1. Intra-dialytic aerobic training improves quality of life in humans (social support +9%, p = 0.022; general health +25%, p = 0.008; well-being +3%, p < 0.001).
