NCT ID NCT05889130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 41 people on hemodialysis to see if doing resistance exercises at the beginning or end of a session affects blood pressure and well-being. Participants did lower-body exercises with sandbags three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers measured blood pressure, muscle strength, physical performance, and quality of life to find the optimal timing.

Active substance
resistance exercise (lower body exercises with sandbags)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help dialysis patients better manage blood pressure and improve muscle strength and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 41 participants, so results may not apply to all dialysis patients. Exercise timing may not significantly affect outcomes.
