Exercise for Chronic Kidney Diseases

"Group(1) aerobic training: Each exercise training session included 3 to 5 minutes of warm-up, range-of-motion exercises, interval training(aerobic training), cool-down, and post-exercise range-of-motion exercises. Patients exercise at 40 to 60% of maximum heart rate.~Group(2) resistance exercise: training of the lower extremities was performed three times per week. Starting weights for knee extension and hip abduction and flexion were determined from a three-repetition maximum (3RM) using ankle weights that can be adjusted in 1 lb. increments. A 3RM is the maximum weight that can be lifted three times with proper technique. Training started at approximately 60% of 3RM for two sets of 10 repetitions and was increased to three sets as tolerated."
