Abstract
Objective This meta-analysis aims to explore the dose-response relationship of aerobic exercise or aerobic combined resistance exercise on cardiopulmonary function in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD), with the goal of aiding in the formulation of precise exercise prescriptions. Methods A literature search up to August 18, 2023, was conducted in databases including Web of Science, among others, focusing on the effects of exercise interventions on cardiopulmonary function in hemodialysis patients.Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and an assessment of study methodology quality. A dose-response meta-analysis was carried out using a one-stage cubic spline mixed-effects model, followed by stratified analyses based on intervention period, intervention method, and exercise environment. Results A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between exercise and 6-minute walk test (6WMT) as well as peak oxygen uptake (VO2Peak) in hemodialysis patients. The optimal exercise dose for the 6WMT across the full exposure range was 922 METs-min/week, with VO2Peak increasing with the dose. The effects were influenced by the type of exercise, intervention period, and exercise environment. An exercise dose of 500 METs-min/week and 619 METs-min/week was found sufficient to achieve the minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for 6WMT and VO2Peak, respectively. Conclusion There is a significant association between the dose of exercise and its effects. With appropriate adjustment of variables, even low-dose exercise can lead to clinically significant improvements in cardiopulmonary function.

Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effect of intradialytic exercise training programmes on the submaximal functional capacity of patients with kidney failure. We searched for randomized clinical trials that assessed submaximal functional capacity using the 6-min walk test (6 MWT) in adult patients on maintenance haemodialysis submitted to intradialytic physical training. The search was performed on 15 October 2021, in different databases. Random-effect, multivariate meta-regression adjusted for multiplicity were performed to examine the relationship between exercise effect and covariates. Intradialytic physical exercise induced greater changes in 6MWT distance (k = 18; n = 1,458; WMD: 37.0; 95% CI 29.3; 50.6 metres) than control groups, with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 78.3%). Aerobic, strength, and combined exercise promoted an average increase of 48.7 (95%CI 30.9; 66.4 metres), 16.9 (95%CI 7.6; 26.3 metres), and 75.8 (95%CI 55.1; 96.6 metres) metres, respectively. Strength training resulted in inferior gains in 6MWT distance compared to aerobic training (WMD: -25.0; 95%CI: -49.1; -0.9). Intervention length shorter than 11 weeks (WMD: 37.0; 95%CI: -5.4; 79.3 metres) did not induce greater changes in 6MWT compared to control groups. There was a positive response in submaximal functional capacity to intradialytic training in kidney failure patients on maintenance haemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence comparing different exercise modalities in individuals undergoing hemodialysis remains incipient. Our aim was to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to compare and synthesize the efficacy of five different intradialytic exercise modalities and home-based training in this population. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS Studies were searched in PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, Cinahl, and Scopus from their inception to 19 September 2022. We used traditional random-effects models and Bayesian network meta-analysis models. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoB v.2.0 tool, and the assessment of confidence in the results through the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) tool. RESULTS Seventy-eight studies involving 3326 participants were included. Our network meta-analysis showed that combined training was the intervention with the best performance to increase VO2 peak [mean difference (MD) = 3.94 ml/kg/min; 95% credible interval (CrI), 2.38 to 5.76] and to reduce diastolic blood pressure (MD = -5.19 mmHg; 95%CrI, -9.35 to -0.96) compared to the usual care group. Inspiratory muscle training was the intervention that most improved the 6-minute walk test distance (MD = 70.97 m; 95%CrI, 18.09 to 129.87). C-reactive protein decreased in resistance training (MD = -2.6 mg/l; 95%CrI, -4.97 to -0.33) and aerobic training (MD = -1.4 mg/l; 95%CrI, -3.15 to -0.06). Kt/V improved in aerobic training (MD = 0.11; 95%CrI, 0.02 to 0.18), and SF-36 physical functioning outcomes improved in resistance training (MD = 10.66 points; 95%Crl, 1.91 to 20.22). No intradialytic exercise modality was superior to others or comparable with home-based training in improving the evaluated outcomes. Subgroup analysis revealed that exercise interventions >12 weeks improved functional capacity more than interventions ≤12 weeks, and that combined training reduces diastolic blood pressure only after 12 weeks of follow-up. Furthermore, our results suggest that moderate or moderate-to-vigorous intensity training leads to more pronounced improvements in functional capacity, whereas mild or mild-to-moderate intensity training does not have the same effect. In this review, most of the included studies were assessed as having some concern, which resulted in a low to very low level of confidence in the overall findings. CONCLUSIONS Both intradialytic training and home-based training can promote benefits for individuals undergoing hemodialysis, with no evidence of the superiority of either training modality over the other.

Abstract
Background To provide reliable evidence to exercise rehabilitation therapists and clinicians, we compared and analyzed the effects of different exercise modalities on cardiopulmonary function in hemodialysis patients using Bayesian network meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, SPORT Discus, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were searched from inception to July 20, 2022. We included randomized controlled trials comparing 12 exercise modalities to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in hemodialysis patients. All statistical analysis was performed using STATA and R. Result A total of 82 randomized controlled trials involving 4146 maintenance hemodialysis patients were included in this study. The pair-wise meta-analysis showed that all exercise modalities had a positive effect on all indicators of cardiorespiratory capacity. The network meta-analysis demonstrated that Blood flow restriction training (BFRT), Cycle exercise (CE), Inspiratory muscle training (IMT), Combined aerobic and resistance training (CT), and Aerobic training (AT) were significantly better than usual care for 6-min walkability; Medium intensity continuous training (MICT), CT, CE, and AT were considerably better than usual care for VO2Peak; body and mind training (MBT) and CT significantly improved SBP compared to usual care; and only MBT was significantly better than usual care for DBP. Both the two-dimensional plot and the radar plot demonstrated that CT had the best combined-effect on each index of cardiorespiratory fitness. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses demonstrated the robustness of the results. The evidence was mainly "low" to "very low" for this network meta-analysis. Conclusion There is no one exercise that can achieve the best effect on all of the outcomes. The benefits of MBT in decreasing arterial blood pressure are unsurpassed by other exercise methods. The intervention effect of the CT is better and more stable. Electrical muscle stimulation training (MEST) can be employed in individuals who do not wish to exercise actively but may cause an increase in blood pressure. On the basis of the characteristics of different exercise types, guidelines developers, clinicians, and patients may employ them appropriately.

Abstract
Background: Physical inactivity is highly prevalent in patients with hemodialysis, and a large body of evidence reported the positive effect of different exercise modalities on their health outcomes. However, the effective dosage of exercise for hemodialysis patients still requires verification. Objective: We aimed to determine the most effective exercise intensity and modality for improvements in physical function, blood pressure control, dialysis adequacy, and health-related quality of life for hemodialysis patients. Design: Systematic review with network meta-analysis of randomized trials. Data sources: Five electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Scopus) were searched for randomized controlled trials. Data extraction and quality appraisal were conducted by two authors independently. Data were analyzed by the R (version.3.6.2) and the Stata (version.15.0). Result: We included 1893 patients involving four exercise modalities and six exercise intensities. Combined training (aerobic exercise plus resistance exercise) has been the top-ranking exercise modality for improving the 6-min walk test (6MWT) (surface under the cumulative ranking curve analysis (SUCRA) score, 90.63), systolic blood pressure control (SUCRA score, 77.35), and diastolic pressure control (SUCRA score, 90.56). Moreover, the top-ranking exercise intensity was moderate–vigorous for 6MWT (SUCRA score, 82.36), systolic blood pressure (SUCRA score, 77.43), and diastolic blood pressure (SUCRA score, 83.75). Regarding dialysis adequacy and health-related quality of life, we found no exercise modality or intensity superior to the placebo. Conclusion: This network meta-analysis indicated that combined training and moderate–vigorous intensity might be the most effective interventions to improve 6MWT and blood pressure control. This finding helps further guide clinical exercise prescriptions for hemodialysis patients. Systematic Review Registration: [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier [CRD42021268535].

Abstract
Background: Exercise training has positive effects on physical functions and could reduce a sedentary lifestyle for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Given that low-level physical activity increases morbidity and mortality, here, we aimed to determine the effects of an intradialytic exercise program delivered at different frequencies on HD patients in Taiwan. Methods: This study is a prospective, randomized control trial. An intradialytic exercise program will be arranged for patients after receiving their informed consent. Patients will be segregated at random into three groups as follows: (a) three times/week of intradialytic exercise training plus standard care maintenance of HD, (b) two times/week of intradialytic exercise training plus standard care maintenance of HD, or (c) standard care maintenance of HD. Subjects will be followed for 24 weeks. At three time points, 0, 12, and 24 weeks, the primary outcome, the Short-Form 36 score, will be measured. Additional secondary outcomes to be measured are the Beck depression inventory, 6 min walking test, sit-to-stand test, and anthropometric measures such as the body mass index, thigh circumference, and the proportion of fat in the body composition. Conclusions: There is emerging evidence in support of intradialytic exercise improving health-related quality of life for patients on HD. However, the difference in the therapeutic effects between three times per week and twice per week has never been determined. With this study, we anticipate to fill the knowledge gap in the exercise prescription among HD patients.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis provides a synthesis of the available evidence for the effects of interventions on outcome measures associated with sarcopenia in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Thirteen databases were searched, supplemented with internet and hand searching. Randomised controlled trials of non-pharmacological or pharmacological interventions in adults with ESKD were eligible. Trials were restricted to those which had reported measures of sarcopenia. Primary outcome measures were hand grip strength and sit-to-stand tests. Sixty-four trials were eligible (with nineteen being included in meta-analyses). Synthesised data indicated that intradialytic exercise increased hand grip strength (standardised mean difference, 0.58; 0.24 to 0.91; p = 0.0007; I2 = 40%), and sit-to-stand (STS) 60 score (mean difference, 3.74 repetitions; 2.35 to 5.14; p < 0.001; I2 = 0%). Intradialytic exercise alone, and protein supplementation alone, resulted in no statistically significant change in STS5 (−0.78 s; −1.86 to 0.30; p = 0.16; I2 = 0%), and STS30 (MD, 0.97 repetitions; −0.16 to 2.10; p = 0.09; I2 = 0%) performance, respectively. For secondary outcomes, L-carnitine and nandrolone-decanoate resulted in significant increases in muscle quantity in the dialysis population. Intradialytic exercise modifies measures of sarcopenia in the haemodialysis population; however, the majority of trials were low in quality. There is limited evidence for efficacious interventions in the peritoneal dialysis and transplant recipient populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a 12-week breathing-based leg exercises program on quality of life under stabilizing heart rate variability and reducing fatigue in regular hemodialysis patients. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING A 94-bed hemodialysis department at a medical center in northern Taiwan. PARTICIPANTS Eighty-six patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis were recruited and randomly assigned to the ExBr or control groups. INTERVENTIONS The breathing-based leg exercises program comprised abdominal breathing and low-intensity leg exercise, including leg lifts, quadriceps femoris contraction and knee flexion, and lasted for 15 minutes at one time, three times a week for 12 weeks. MAIN MEASURE Data was collected by using the World Health Organization quality of life assessment-brief, physiological signal recorder for heart rate variability and hemodialysis-related fatigue scale at baseline and on Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12. RESULTS Average (standard deviation) age was 53.70 (10.04) years in the ExBr group and 61.19 (10.19) years in the control group. The linear mixed model with adjusted age, creatinine, heart rate variability and fatigue revealed that the ExBr group had significantly higher quality of life than did the control group (P = 0.01), especially on Week 12 (P = 0.04). Fatigue was significantly correlated with quality of life (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study supported the benefits of the continued breathing-based leg exercises during hemodialysis for at least 12 weeks, which improved the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease and did not affect the stability of their vital signs.
