Interventions

OTHER

Physical exercise.

Physical exercises were held three times a week on alternate days to hemodialysis sessions, with duration of 45 to 90 minute, supervised by a physiotherapist. In all the sessions the following measurements were performed: body weight and blood pressure, heart rate and peripheral oxygen saturation in the pre, during and post session. The exercises were: heating and stretching during 5 minutes, followed by aerobic physical exercise on treadmill and/or bike (about 30 minutes), muscle strengthening exercises (15 to 20 minutes), cooling and stretching (5 minutes). The time for aerobic and strengthening varied according to the tolerance of the patient. The resistance exercises have been conducted for the major muscle groups of the lower limbs.
