Article Synopsis
- The study examined how an intradialytic resistance exercise program affects chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis, with a focus on improving physical activity levels.
- One hundred seven sedentary patients participated, divided into a stretching group and a resistance exercise group, over an 8-week period with assessments before and after the program.
