To explore the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise on components of HRQOL we will estimate the absolute change in score at 12 weeks relative to baseline in the physical component summary score (PCS), the mental component summary score (MCS), and the kidney-disease specific score (KDCS). We will report the absolute change in sub-scores for each of the component summary scores. We will use the same method to estimate the difference in scores on the tests of physical performance and strength. Assuming there is no statistical interaction (no indication in the literature), we will estimate the efficacy of the aerobic intervention by comparing all participants who received aerobic exercise with all groups that did not (aerobic and combined exercise groups versus resistance and control exercise groups) and similarly for the resistance-training group. Final scores will be compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for the baseline scores and both main effect terms. The final score will be presented as the adjusted difference in the means. To correct for multiple comparisons in the combined exercise group, based on the Bonferroni procedure a significance level of less than 0.025 will be considered significant. The same method will be used to analyze differences in the tests of physical functioning and strength. The interaction will be estimated in a secondary analysis. Due to the small sample size, no subgroup analysis will be performed.
