Background: The main and common treatment of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, is hemodialysis (HD). Many reports have shown that exercise therapy is good for HD patients. This review aims to describe recent advances in exercise therapy in HD patients.

Objective: Our key opinions have focused on varied types of exercise therapy and identified barriers to exercise therapy among HD patients. Exercise implementation includes aerobic exercise training, resistance exercise training, combined exercise training, and novel exercise interventions. Barriers include internal and external distress, such as HD patients' restrictions and environmental problems.

Methods: This review is based on the novel/ most findings in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE from the inception of every database until August 2022.

Results: The systematic search strategy identified 6 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Four were specific to exercise therapy in HD, and three were to exercise barriers in HD. Massive evidence has demonstrated exercise therapy for HD has specific benefits and neglectful causes of exercise barriers.

Conclusion: In this review, we aimed to summarize recent advances in individual exercise therapy recommendations (type, intensity, time, and frequency) and exercise barriers in HD patients. In conclusion, Low/moderate-intensity exercise trained for at least thirty minutes five times per week, including aerobic exercise (Walking, Jogging, Swimming, and Health Exercises), resistance training (Dumbbells, Band training, and Knee extension), and combination exercise (both) during the first 2 hours of dialysis treatment or non-dialysis days is advisable treatment recommendation.

Aerobic exercise prevents renal osteodystrophy via irisin-activated osteoblasts.

JCI Insight

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Blood Purification Research Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.

Renal osteodystrophy is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to disrupted mineral homeostasis. Given the impaired renal function in these patients, common anti-resorptive agents, including bisphosphonates, must be used with caution or even contraindicated. Therefore, an alternative therapy without renal burden to combat renal osteodystrophy is urgently needed.

Background: Nasal high flow (NHF) has been proposed to sustain high intensity exercise in people with COPD, but we have a poor understanding of its physiological effects in this clinical setting.

Research Question: What is the effect of NHF during exercise on dynamic respiratory muscle function and activation, cardiorespiratory parameters, endurance capacity, dyspnoea and leg fatigue as compared to control intervention.

Study Design And Methods: Randomized single-blind crossover trial including COPD patients.

Purpose: Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure that consists of irradiating a local area of the skin with red and near-infrared lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs). Local PBM has been studied as a method to improve exercise performance and recovery. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of whole-body PBM for exercise performance and recovery, comparing its findings to the established effects of localized PBM.

Background: The objective was to investigate if cryoneurolysis were superior to sham in reducing pain intensity in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that cryoneurolysis was an effective and safe therapy to reduce chronic pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: The study was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled.

Background: The lifestyle intervention ProMuscle, which combines resistance exercise and an increased protein intake, was effective in improving muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical functioning in older adults. However, due to a growing shortage of health care professionals, the rapidly growing aging population cannot be personally guided in the future. Therefore, Uni2Move, a scalable web-based variant of ProMuscle, was designed to reach larger groups of older adults without putting additional burden on health care professionals.
