Summary

In this study, 100 hemodialysis patients aged between 18-65 were examined. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the exercise group and the control group. The exercise group performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercises for 30 minutes three times a week during hemodialysis sessions. Additionally, they engaged in walking exercises for 30 minutes three times a week outside of hemodialysis sessions, maintaining their heart rate between 50-60%. The exercise group also performed isolated exercises to expand wrist vessels 2-3 days a week outside of hemodialysis sessions. The vessel diameters of the patients were measured by ultrasound at the beginning and after 12 weeks.

Exercise

Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the exercise group and the control group. The exercise group performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on a stationary bicycle ergometer for 30 minutes during hemodialysis sessions, three days a week over 12 weeks. Additionally, the exercise group engaged in walking exercise for 30 minutes, three days a week outside of hemodialysis sessions, maintaining the heart rate between 50-60%. The exercise group also performed isolated exercises to expand wrist vessels, including wrist and elbow flexion, extension, and rotation, repeated 10 times, 2-3 days a week outside of hemodialysis sessions.
