Can exercise during dialysis boost strength in seniors?
NCT ID NCT06838299
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding exercise during dialysis sessions can help older adults (over 60) with chronic kidney disease improve their muscle strength and daily function. Ninety participants were split into three groups: one did cycling plus breathing exercises, another did strength training plus breathing exercises, and a third received standard care. The goal was to see which exercise routine works best for improving how far they can walk and their breathing muscle strength.
