What are the impacts of exercise training on patients with chronic kidney disease?
Exercise training has been shown to improve physical fitness and reduce progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies have demonstrated that exercise training can improve physical performance, reduce fatigue, and improve quality of life in patients with CKD. Exercise training can also lead to improved glycemic control, reduced blood pressure, and improved lipid profiles in patients with CKD. Additionally, exercise training has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, improve endothelial function, and reduce arterial stiffness in CKD patients. In addition, exercise training has been associated with lower mortality rates in both the general population and in CKD patients. Finally, studies have demonstrated that exercise training can improve dietary salt intake, reduce urinary sodium excretion, and improve outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
