Strategies to improve physical activity by exercise training in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Decreased physical activity resulting in muscle loss is often observed in patients with chronic kidney disease and is one of the main predictors of mortality in these patients. Exercise training may improve physical activity and prevent muscle loss in patients with chronic kidney disease. Efforts to introduce exercise training to these patients may be clinically beneficial by reducing their mortality rates.
