Disparities in physical fitness between immediately before dialysis (pre-D) and the day following dialysis (non-D) have not been investigated despite potential adverse factors such as fluid status, uremia, and electrolyte levels in the pre-dialysis period. The effect of acute exercise immediately before hemodialysis (HD) on HD-related hypotension remains unclear. We hypothesized that cardiopulmonary performance and muscular strength would be inferior in the immediate pre-D period compared to those non-D.
