Article Synopsis
- In chronic kidney disease (CKD), oxidative stress contributes significantly to cardiovascular issues, leading researchers to test an intradialytic aerobic cycling program to see if it can improve overall patient health.
- Eighteen hemodialysis patients were divided into an exercise group (cycling for 30 min, 3 days/week) and a control group for three months, measuring factors like body composition, physical fitness, lipid profiles, and antioxidant status.
- The exercise group showed significant improvements in physical fitness (23.4% increase in 6-minute walk test performance), reduced triglycerides (23% decrease), and lower plasma oxidative stress markers, suggesting that aerobic training could be an effective method to combat CKD-related health issues.
