Combined training is the most effective training modality to improve aerobic capacity and blood pressure control in people requiring haemodialysis for end-stage renal disease: systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Questions: Do aerobic, resistance and combined exercise training improve aerobic capacity, arterial blood pressure and haemodialysis efficiency in people requiring haemodialysis for end-stage renal disease? Is one exercise training modality better than the others for improving these outcomes?

Design: Systematic review with network meta-analysis of randomised trials.

Participants: Adults requiring haemodialysis for end-stage renal disease.

Intervention: Aerobic training, resistance training, combined training and control (no exercise or placebo).
