Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience reduced muscle mass, functional limitations, and impaired quality of life, largely due to physical inactivity and disease-related complications such as uremic toxicity, anemia, and metabolic disorders. Additional barriers are fatigue, pain, fear of injury, limited time, motivation, or support further hinder exercise participation. This gap between knowledge and practice is compounded by limited understanding of safe and effective exercise prescription, insufficient training among healthcare professionals, and the absence of standardized protocols.
