What is the opinion of the Work Group on physical activity in CKD populations?
The Work Group recognizes that physical activity has substantial evidence for BP lowering, improvements in dysglycemia, and other CV and health benefits in the general population. However, data on critical outcomes are not available and those for other health benefits and risks are limited in CKD populations, leading to a weak recommendation. The Work Group judged that most patients would benefit from efforts to perform physical activity regularly, even if not achieving the targets set for the general population.
