Summary

This study tested whether a combined aerobic and resistance exercise program could improve physical function and muscle health in people receiving peritoneal dialysis. Thirty-six adults on dialysis for at least six months were split into an exercise group and a usual-care group. The exercise group trained for 8 weeks after a one-month learning period. Researchers measured changes in walking distance, grip strength, leg strength, and body composition.
