Two Different Renal Rehabilitation Protocols in Hemodialysis Patients

inspiratory muscle training: Inspiratory muscle training at 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure for 30 minutes/ session, 3 days a week, for 3 months Each patient breathes through a separate mouthpiece. The resistance is adjusted at 60% of maximum inspiratory pressure detected from maximum inspiratory pressure meter and is marked on the training device. A single training session consists of five sets, each contains five inspirations with total of twenty five breaths with one minute of recovery between each set. The resistance was adjusted every week to be 60% of the new maximum inspiratory pressure and if it remained the same, the subject continued to train at the level of the previous week Aerobic exercise: by bicycle ergomete 5-minute warm-up before exercise and a 5-minute cool-down following exercise at intensity (40-65%HR max) were carried out each time. In addition, the exercise was performed in the first half of the dialysis session over a 3 months period for 3 sessions a week

"Resistance exercise:~Dynamic closed- and open-chain resistance exercises performed by the patients quadriceps and hamstrings muscles . Patients started at 50% of their initial one-repetition maximum (1-RM) with 5 repetitions for each exercise and later progressed to three sets of 8 repetitions at 70% of their 1-RM according to the patient Borg scale of exertion; training loads were increased when patients could comfortably complete three sets with good form.~inspiratory muscle training: Inspiratory muscle training at 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure for 30 minutes/ session, 3 days a week, for 3 months Each patient breathes through a separate mouthpiece. The resistance is adjusted at 60% of maximum inspiratory pressure detected from maximum inspiratory pressure meter and is marked on the training device. A single training session consists of five sets, each contains five inspirations with total of twenty five breaths with one minute of recovery between each set."

there is no exercise , patients do assessment pre and post 3 months and follow up
