Exercise training improves cardiovascular fitness in people receiving haemodialysis for chronic renal disease

摘要

Objective: To review the effects of exercise training oncardiovascular fitness, cardiac function, strength, qualityof life and safety in people on regular haemodialysis forchronic renal disease. Data Sources: CENTRAL, Embase,Medline and CINAHL, searched up to December 2010.Reference lists of included studies were hand searchedfor further eligible trials. Study selection: Randomisedcontrolled trials involving people with chronic renal diseaseon regular haemodialysis, in which exercise training wascompared to no training or in which different exercisemodalities were compared. Trials assessing peak oxygenconsumption as a measure of cardiopulmonary fitness wereincluded. Other outcome measures were cardiac function,strength, quality of life, and safety. Exercise adherencewas also considered. Data extraction: Two reviewersdetermined the eligibility of studies. Methodological qualitywas assessed using the Jadad scale.
