Physical Activity and Exercise for Cardiorespiratory Health and Fitness in Chronic Kidney Disease
Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2022 Jul 26;23(8):273. doi: 10.31083/j.rcm2308273.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), major adverse CVD events, and cardiovascular mortality. Low levels of physical activity and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness further compound the health consequences in this patient population. Aerobic exercise alone and the combination of aerobic and resistance exercise have beneficial effects for improving aerobic capacity while resistance exercise alone improves strength and skeletal muscle health. Given the prevalence of CVD in CKD patients an...
