Arms

  • Experimental: Investigate the effects of an exercise intervention on clinically debilitated dialysis patients.
    150 patients from UI Health (≥ 18 years of age), who are on dialysis, or have chronic kidney disease stage 4 (CKD 4 = GFR between 15 and 29), or have chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD 5 = GFR below 15) and are considered clinically debilitated by their direct healthcare professional. After the initial baseline visit, subjects will come twice weekly, for roughly 1 hour each session, for 12 months (96 visits total). Subjects will also come in for data collection visits at baseline (prior to starting the exercise program), 6 months, and 12 months. Each of those visits will take about 2-3 hours. All testing done in the 3 test visits will help assess the patient's cardiovascular and functional responses and/or changes to the exercise intervention.
  • No Intervention: Control
    The control arm will receive no exercise intervention. Subjects will also come in for data collection visits at baseline (prior to starting the exercise program), 6 months, and 12 months. Each of those visits will take about 2-3 hours. All testing done in the 3 test visits will help assess the patient's cardiovascular and functional responses.

Primary Outcome Measure
