Abstract

Physical inactivity and sleep disturbance are frequently observed and relate to poor clinical outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis patients. We aimed to investigate the effect of intradialytic exercise on daily physical activity and sleep quality, measured by an accelerometer, in maintenance hemodialysis patients. This study randomly assigned ambulatory maintenance hemodialysis patients aged ≥ 20 years on dialysis ≥ 6 months, without a hospitalization history for the previous 3 months to 4 groups: aerobic exercise (AE), resistance exercise (RE), combination exercise (CE), and control. A stationary bike was used for AE and a TheraBand®/theraball for RE. A 12-week intradialytic exercise program (3 times/week) was completed in the AE (n = 11), RE (n = 10), and CE (n = 12) groups. The control group (n = 13) received only warm-up stretching. At baseline and 12-week follow-up, daily physical activity and sleep quality were measured with a triaxial accelerometer (wActiSleep-BT; ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL) during a continuous 7-day wear period. We observed a significant increase in metabolic equivalent (MET; kcal/h/kg) in the AE (1.02 ± 0.03 vs 1.04 ± 0.04, P = 0.04) and CE (1.06 ± 0.05 vs 1.09 ± 0.08, P = 0.01) groups at 12 weeks compared with baseline. When comparing between-group changes in MET, there was a significant increase in METs in the CE group (0.03 ± 0.03 vs - 0.01 ± 0.04, P = 0.02) compared with the control group. The total number of sedentary bouts (per week) decreased significantly in the AE (200 ± 37 vs 174 ± 36, P = 0.01), RE (180 ± 31 vs 130 ± 49, P = 0.03), and CE groups (180 ± 45 vs 152 ± 46, P = 0.04) at 12 weeks compared with baseline. The average sleep fragmentation index, indicating poor sleep quality, decreased significantly at 12 weeks compared with baseline in the AE (51.4 ± 8.0 vs 44.5 ± 9.6, P = 0.03) and RE groups (52.3 ± 7.3 vs 40.0 ± 15.4, P = 0.01). Intradialytic exercise appears to be clinically beneficial in improving daily physical activity and sleep quality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 September 2018.
All research outputs
#16,725,651
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#802
of 1,493 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,306
of 450,227 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#19
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,493 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 450,227 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
