Summary

Objective: Intra-dialytic exercises are strongly believed to have benefits and have become a crucial therapeutic modality for managing hemodialysis patients. The effects of each type of exercise and yoga on hemodialysis patients' physical and psychological health have been studied extensively. However, the effects of combining yoga and resistance training exercises remain unclear in this population. The aims of this study are: (1) to create a feasible intradialytic yoga-resistance exercise (YRE) program for hemodialysis patients; and (2) to investigate its effects on muscle strength, fatigue, depression, and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.

Methods: Seventy-two participants will be randomly assigned to a 12-week YRE group or a wait-list control group. The YRE group will perform exercises (breathing exercises, flexibility, resistance exercises, relaxation with meditation) in the first two hours of each hemodialysis session, three times weekly. The outcome measures are the following: socio-demographic characteristics; fatigue (measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue); depression (the Patient Health Questionnaire); sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index); muscle strength (a hydraulic hand dynamometer, hand-held dynamometer, and one-minute sit-to-stand test). The outcomes will be assessed at baseline, week 6, and week 12. The independent t-test will be applied to compare the differences in outcome scores between groups at different time points. Using a generalized estimating equation method to analyze the effects of the intervention on the outcome variables.

Results: The expected results are: (1) The combined YRE program is feasible and safe for hemodialysis patients. (2) After 12 weeks, the intervention group will show significant improvement in muscle strength, fatigue, depression, and sleep quality compared to the control group.
