Conditions

Behavioral: exercise
Registration Number
NCT06568835
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to discuss the effects of physical activity on nutrition, inflammation, muscle metabolism, and the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with maintenance haemodialysis. The main question it aims to answer is: can exercise improve nutritional and inflammatory status, enhance muscle strength, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with maintenance haemodialysis.

Researchers will compared active exercise group to conventional treatment group to see the impact of exercise on maintenance haemodialysis patients.

Participants will:

Choose low-intensity aerobic exercise workouts such as walking (no less than 8,000 steps per day) or jogging, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., according to their individual conditions, for no less than 30 minutes at a time, at least 3 times per week, and the intensity of the exercise should be based on an RPE score of 12 to 16.

Detailed Description

RPE: Rating of Perceived Exertion. RPE scores of 12 to 16 indicate the need for increased respiratory rate and depth during exercise, the ability to engage in conversational exchanges, light sweating, and a feeling of slight fatigue without reaching a state of exhaustion.

GroupInterventionDescription
exercise groupexercisepatients were asked to choose walking (no less than 8000 steps per day) or low-intensity aerobic exercise such as jogging, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., according to their own conditions, for no less than 30 minutes each time, at least 3 times per week, and the intensity of the exercise was determined by the need to increase the frequency and depth of breathing during the exercise, and it was appropriate to feel slightly tired but not exhausted (RPE score 12-16). Exercise intensity should be at least 3 times a week, and the exercise intensity should be at a level that requires an increase in breathing rate and depth, allowing for dialogue and communication, slight sweating, and a feeling of being slightly tired but not exhausted (RPE score of 12 to 16).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mid-upper arm circumference of the non-internal fistula side(AC)Baseline and half year, 1 year

Measure the circumference of the non-internal fistula at the midpoint of the upper arm using a soft tape measure, in centimetres
