Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have reduced physical and functional capacity when compared with the general population. Hemodialysis (HD) restricts patients activities, favoring a sedentary lifestyle and leading to functional limitations. HD patients are less active, present low exercise tolerance and have high physical deconditioning. Physical exercise programs have been proposed as a strategy not only to treat clinical symptoms, but also to reduce physical limitations and improve the quality of life of these patients.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 13 September 2012.
All research outputs
#20,479,088
of 32,775,379 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Nephrology
#167
of 460 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#134,835
of 206,939 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Nephrology
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,775,379 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 460 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
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 206,939 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
