Implication

Systematic review reveals intradialytic exercise enhances physical activity levels and VO2 peak in hemodialysis patients, suggesting effective intervention strategies.

Key Points

Intradialytic exercise significantly improves physical activity levels in hemodialysis patients, reducing mortality risks.
Combined aerobic and resistance exercises yield substantial improvements in physical activity levels (SMD=0.99) and VO2 peak (SMD=1.01).
Moderate exercise intensity enhances physical activity levels (SMD=0.55) and muscle strength (SMD=0.37) in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Three-month exercise programs beneficially affect physical activity levels (SMD=0.65) and VO2 peak (SMD=0.70), indicating optimal duration for interventions.
