Abstract Background: chronic kidney disease is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor that may affect the development and course of CKD. It is well established that exercise improves a number of metabolic factors, blood pressure and insulin resistance, which would be expected to preserve renal function and lower cardiovascular risks. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare the impact of both aerobic and resistance exercises on lipid profiles among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Subject and Methods: Forty patients who established diagnosis of chronic renal failure with age ranged from 45-60years were selected randomly from Hemodialysis Unit of Ain Shams General Hospital ,Only who agreed to be volunteers participated in the study and were randomized into two groups of equal number, twenty patients for each group, group (A) received moderate intensity aerobic exercise program during dialysis using cycle ergometer for 30mintes,3times/week for 12 consecutive weeks plus their medical care.group (B) who received moderate intensity resistance exercises during dialysis for lower limbs using ankle free weights for 30 minutes, 3times/week for 12 consecutive weeks plus their medical care, Parameters: Laboratory assessment (lipid profile)before the initiation of the training program and after the completion of the study (after 12 weeks) |
