Does the interference phenomenon affect strength development during same-session combined rehabilitation program in hemodialysis patients?

Introduction: This study aimed to assess if an interference effect could blunt the neuromuscular gains induced by a same-session combined rehabilitation in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Methods: Patients exercised twice a week, for 16 weeks, over their HD sessions. They were either always trained with resistance and endurance exercises (continuous training, "CONT") or alternatively with 1 week of resistance alternated with 1 week of endurance (discontinuous training, "DISC").
