Effect of Exercise on Vessel Diameter in Hemodialysis Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
In this study, 100 hemodialysis patients aged between 18-65 were examined. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the exercise group and the control group. The exercise group performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercises for 30 minutes three times a week during hemodialysis sessions. Additionally, they engaged in walking exercises for 30 minutes three times a week outside of hemodialysis sessions, maintaining their heart rate between 50-60%. The exercise group also performed isolated exercises to expand wrist vessels 2-3 days a week outside of hemodialysis sessions. The vessel diameters of the patients were measured by ultrasound at the beginning and after 12 weeks.
