Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this prospective study is to investigate the effects of intradialytic exercise on circulating alpha-Klotho, FGF23, oxidative stress, vascular function, and physical function in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The study also aims to clarify the association between exercise-induced alpha-Klotho responses and redox phenotype, thereby elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying exercise responsiveness and providing a scientific basis for individualized exercise therapy.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in serum alpha-Klotho concentration after a 3-month intradialytic exercise program

Key secondary outcomes

Changes in serum FGF23 concentration, superoxide dismutase activity, radical scavenging activity, ankle to brachial index, echocardiographic parameters (e.g., ejection fraction and fractional shortening), physical function (e.g., handgrip strength and Short Physical Performance Battery), and their associations after the 3 month intradialytic exercise program.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants will undergo a three month intradialytic exercise program. Aerobic exercise using a cycle ergometer will be performed during the first two hours of hemodialysis for 30 to 60 min per session, two to three times per week, at a Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion of 11 to 13. Exercise sessions will be supervised by a physical therapist, and exercise duration and workload will be adjusted according to each clinical condition and hemodynamic status.

Baseline Characteristics


Participant flow

Thirty-five participants were planned for enrollment. Thirty-three participants were enrolled, and all completed the 3-month intradialytic exercise program. Therefore, all 33 participants were included in the final analysis.

Adverse events

No serious adverse events related to the intradialytic exercise intervention were observed during the study.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was the change in serum alpha-Klotho concentration after the 3 month intervention. Secondary outcomes included changes in FGF23, superoxide dismutase activity, radical scavenging activity, ankle to brachial index, echocardiographic parameters (e.g., ejection fraction and fractional shortening), physical function (e.g., handgrip strength and Short Physical Performance Battery), and their associations.

Plan to share IPD
