Summary

In order to accomplish the objectives of this investigation, a single-blind experimental comparative design was implemented to evaluate the impact of intradialytic aerobic exercise and Incentive Spirometer on sleep quality and fatigue. Three experimental groups (aerobic exercise and Incentive Spirometer) and one control group were subjected to pre- and post-tests. Is there a difference in the levels of fatigue and sleep quality between hemodialysis patients who receive aerobic exercise and incentive spirometer therapy and those who do not receive it? Researcher will compare the levels of fatigue and sleep quality between hemodialysis patients who receive interventional therapy and those who do not receive it to see if interventional therapy works to relieve the fatigue and improve sleep quality. Participants will take aerobic exercise therapy group applied on the leg muscles for 20 minutes per session, and incentive spirometer group on respiratory muscles

* Ask the patient to hold the breath as long as possible (at least five seconds) then exhale slowly.
* Session was in the form of 30 times in sets, each set consist of 5-6 repetitions with rest 1 minute between sets , 2 times per week for total one month, during the first hour of each hemodialysis. sessions.

Interventions

OTHER

intradialytic aerobic exercise versus incentive spirometer

The interventions were implemented during the first two hours of the hemodialysis session, starting 30 minutes after initiation. For intradialytic aerobic exercise, the cycle ergometer was placed on the bed, the patients' feet were secured to the pedals, and knee range of motion was assessed individually. pedaling was performed for 20 minutes at a speed of 30 rpm during each session, with instructions and verbal encouragement provided. Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature) were monitored before, during, and after exercise. Regarding the use of the Incentive Spirometer, patients were seated upright and instructed to perform slow deep inhalation with breath holding for at least 5 seconds, followed by slow exhalation. Each session consisted of 30 repetitions divided into sets (5-6 repetitions per set) with a one-minute rest between sets. Exercise intensity was progressively increased according to the patient's condition. Training was conducted twice weekly
