Summary
This study tests whether a combination of flywheel resistance and aerobic exercise can reduce fatigue and improve muscle function in veterans with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. Thirty participants will undergo exercise training, and researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, blood flow, and perceived exhaustion. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to help patients stay active and delay functional decline.
