Comparing effects of 4 months of two self-administered exercise training programs on physical performance in patients with chronic kidney disease: RENEXC - A randomized controlled trial.
PloS One 2018
BACKGROUND: Exercise training is recommended to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the level of evidence is still low. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared two different and self-administered exercise training programs in a representative CKD population.
METHODS: This single centre RCT included 151 non-dialysis dependent CKD patients, irrespective of age and comorbidity. Self-administered exercise training of 150 minutes per week was prescribed for 4 months and consisted of 60 minutes endurance training in combination with 90 minutes of either strength or balance training (strength versus balance group). Overall endurance (6-minute walk-test (6-MWT), stair climbing), muscular endurance (30-seconds sit-to-stand (30-STS), heel rises and toe lifts, handgrip (HGS) and isometric quadriceps (IQS) strength, balance (functional reach (FR) and Berg´s balance scale (BBS)) and fine motor skills (Moberg´s picking up test (MPUT)) were measured at baseline and after 4 months. Intention to treat analyses with mixed models was used.
RESULTS: 53 women and 98 men, mean age 66 ± 14: range 19 to 87 years, eGFR 20 ± 7: range 8 to 48 ml/min/1.73m2 participated. The strength group (n = 76) improved significantly in 6-MWT, stair climbing, 30-STS, heel rises right and left, toe lifts right, IQS right and left, and MPUT with closed eyes with the right and left hand. The balance group (n = 75) improved significantly in heel rises right and left, IQS left, BBS and left-handed MPUT with open and closed eyes. A significant effect between the groups was found for IQS right.
CONCLUSIONS: Two different exercise training programs, consisting of endurance in combination with either strength or balance exercise training, improved or maintained overall endurance, muscular strength and endurance, balance and fine motor skills after 4 months of 150 minutes/week self-administered exercise training in a representative CKD population, regardless of age and comorbidity.
