Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of home-based exercise on the risk of sarcopenia, functional capacity, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep, and quality of life in patients aged 45 and over with chronic kidney disease (Stage 4-5) who are not on dialysis.

A total of 26 voluntary participants aged 45 and above with chronic kidney disease (Stages 4-5) who are not undergoing dialysis will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group using block randomization method. While the intervention group will engage in a 12-week home exercise program, the control group will not receive any exercise intervention. The effects of the 12-week home exercise program on Sarcopenia Risk, Functional Capacity, Depression, Fatigue, Sleep, and Quality of Life will be evaluated before and after the intervention in this study.

Treatment

The study group will be provided with a 12-week home exercise program. Participants will receive a home-based exercise program for 30-55 minutes per day, 3-4 times a week for 12 weeks, with the intensity of exercise adjusted based on the participant's perceived exertion. The program consists of warm-up and cool-down exercises, strength exercises (upper-lower extremities, abdominal-back muscles), and aerobic exercise. A website will be designed where patients can access and track their home exercise programs using predefined usernames and passwords. Patients will be able to watch exercise videos on the website. Additionally, patients will evaluate the difficulty of their daily exercises through their profiles on the website. For patients who cannot adhere to tracking via the website, exercise videos will be shared via the WhatsApp application. Exercise tracking will be done through the exercise schedule provided to patients.
