Article Synopsis
- - Emerging research indicates that resistance training (RT) can help improve respiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), although the exact reasons for these benefits are still not fully understood.
- - A study involving 33 HD patients compared the effects of a 24-week periodized RT program against a control group, finding significant increases in respiratory function measures (like maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures) along with improvements in handgrip strength and fat-free mass.
- - The results revealed that as respiratory muscle strength improved, there was also a notable decrease in interdialytic weight gain (IWG) and an increase in nitric oxide levels, suggesting these factors may play a role in the beneficial effects of RT on respiratory function in
