Abstract: Currently, intradialytic exercise interventions are rarely performed in hemodialysis centres in Indonesia, particularly at Dr Sardjito Hospital. Physical exercise during hemodialysis (HD) provides many benefits, one of the most important being increases blood flow in the muscles and increases the surface area of small blood vessels, thereby increasing the transfer of urea and toxins from the tissues to the blood vessels that will be delivered to the HD machine. These will increase the success of the HD procedure (by its dialysis adequacy) and ultimately improve the patient's quality of life significantly.
