Summary

This study tests whether watching exercise videos designed for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can improve their physical fitness and activity levels. Sixty adults with early-stage CKD will be randomly assigned to either a 12-week multimedia education program or standard education. Researchers will measure changes in walking distance, strength, flexibility, and self-reported activity to see if the video approach works better.
