Aim of this randomized controlled trial was to determine whether prolonged (24 weeks) intradialytic progressive resistance training (PRT) could counteract muscle wasting more effectively than short-duration training (12 weeks) in patients with end-stage renal disease. Prolonged intradialytic PRT did not significantly improve muscle cross-sectional area or intramuscular lipid content compared with a shorter duration of exercise. |
