Can exercise strengthen bones in kidney disease? study tests aerobic vs resistance training
NCT ID NCT07628621
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how two types of exercise affect bone health in people with chronic kidney disease. Sixty patients did either treadmill walking or resistance training for 6 months. Researchers measured bone turnover markers and bone density before and after the program to see which exercise worked better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise training (aerobic treadmill or resistance machines)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that specific types of exercise help manage bone health in chronic kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all kidney disease patients. It measured bone markers, not actual fractures or long-term outcomes.
