ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a supervised physical activity program can impact patients with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) who are undergoing hemodialysis. Researchers want to understand if regular exercise during dialysis sessions can improve the overall health and well-being of these patients, who are at higher risk for serious health issues due to inactivity. The goal is to see if exercise can help reduce problems like heart disease, depression, and loss of independence.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and currently receiving hemodialysis. They should be in good enough health to engage in physical activity safely during their dialysis sessions. Important exclusions include those who have recently had a heart attack or certain conditions that prevent them from participating in the exercise. If someone joins the study, they can expect to take part in a structured exercise program while receiving their usual dialysis treatment, contributing to valuable research that could improve care for patients with CRF.
