Physical Activity Program for Hemodialysis Patients

This study is looking at two different ways to help people on hemodialysis (a treatment for kidney failure) become more physically active. One group will do a standard exercise program during dialysis called "Intradialytic Exercise Program," which includes cycling and strength training. The other group will try a new, personalized program called "Move More." This program lets you choose activities you enjoy, both during and outside of dialysis. The goal is to see if the "Move More" program helps people increase their physical activity more effectively than the standard program. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months, and are considered safe to exercise by your doctor. The study aims to enroll 40 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants to compare two different exercise programs. It is not specified if participants will be randomly assigned or if the study is blinded.
What's involved
Participants will have their physical activity measured at the beginning, at 3 months, and again at 6 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 6 months after starting the program.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Physical Activitybaseline, 3 months, 6 months

    Total Minutes of Physical Activity measured with minutes, there is no a minimum or maximin value. If participants increased the total minutes of physical activity this means they increased their physical activity levels.
