Brief Summary

The aimed this study is to examine the effects of calisthenic exercises on aerobic capacities, muscle strength and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Detailed Description

The study is a randomized single-blind placebo-controlled study. . At the beginning and end of the study, all patients will be asked to answer questions including demographic information and a quality of life questionnaire for kidney patients. A 6-minute walking test and a 30-second sit-stand test will be applied by the research physiotherapist to measure their aerobic capacity. Again, a dynamometer will be used to measure muscle strength.

The hypotheses the investigators will test for this purpors; H0 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases aerobic capacity. H1Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases muscle strength.H2 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients improves the quality of life.

Study Groups

Calisthenic exercise

The patients in the calisthenic exercise group will be given one-to-one hands-on calisthenic exercises by the research physiotherapist. They will be asked to do these exercises 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Patients will be followed up by asking whether they do their exercises or not. They will be asked to do the exercises twice a month for 8 weeks under the control of a physiotherapist. In this way, it will be ensured that the exercises are done correctly and that the patients do it completely.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Calisthenic exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

Exercises involving major muscle groups will be given. Before starting the calisthenic exercises, they will be asked to perform 10 repetitive warm-ups and breathing exercises. The intensity of the calisthenic exercises will be adjusted on a weekly basis.

Calisthenic exercises are repeated 10-15 times in the first and second weeks; third and fourth weeks 15-20 repetitive; In the five, six, seven and eight weeks, it will be done with 25-30 repetitions.

Patients will be asked to keep an exercise diary and weekly follow-ups will be made over the phone.

Within eight weeks, each patient will come for control twice a month and will be asked to perform the exercises individually under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients will be asked to do the exercises three times a week for 8 weeks.
