Summary

Background. An increase in inflammatory biomarkers is associated with impaired kidney function and increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. Physical exercise has been shown to improve the functional capacity and inflammatory status of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) treatment, increasing their health-related quality of life. Virtual reality (VR) is an effective and safe tool to increase patient adherence to the exercise program, however, there are very few studies that analyze its effect on the functional capacity of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in HD and none analyze its effect on the inflammatory state of these patients, which justifies the performance of this study.

Methods. Eighty patients with CKD on HD treatment will be randomly assigned into two groups, one of them will perform an intradialysis exercise program with non-immersive VR (intervention group; n=40), and the other will exercise with a static pedal (control group; n). =40). The functional capacity of the patients and their inflammatory and psychological status, as well as their exercise adherende, will be analyzed before and after exercise programs.

Conditions

  • Kidney Failure, Chronic

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise with non-immersive virtual reality

Patients will exercise for 30 minutes with non-immersive virtual reality (VR) with a perceived exertion between 12-15 (somewhat hard-hard) on the Borg scale. Patients will perform 3 weekly sessions during the second hour of hemodialysis, on simultaneous days.

OTHER

Exercise with a static pedal

Patients will exercise with a stationary pedal for 30 minutes at an intensity of 12-15 (somewhat hard-hard) on the Borg scale of perceived exertion. The patients will carry out an exercise session 3 times a week on alternate days, coinciding with the patients of the exercise with VR.
