Why the study?
Does exercise training improve emotional distress and heart rate variability in hemodialysis patients?
Does exercise training improve emotional distress and heart rate variability in hemodialysis patients?
Exercise training may be beneficial for reducing emotional distress and improving heart rate variability in hemodialysis patients.
May support exercise for distress and HRV in hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating, needs randomized confirmation.
Cardiac autonomic modulation seemed to be sensitive to the experience of persistent depression in HD patients. Significantly, exercise training reduced emotional distress and concomitantly improved HRV.
