Abstract

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of the Exercise on the renal dialysis patient and their life. Sixty dialysis patients participated in this study; their age ranged from 30 to 60 years. All subjects participated in the study received the treatment program three times per week and were evaluated before and after eight weeks of the treatment program. The results obtained revealed significant differences of all measured variables; blood analysis, six minutes walking distance test, modified borg scale, short form 36 quality of life questionnaire (SF-36).  A statistically significant difference was also found in improvements in physical function. Incorporating aerobic, resistance, and flexibility exercises into routine hemodialysis care is vital for reducing physical deconditioning, enhancing overall health outcomes, and improving performance in activities of daily life. Further studies are requirements to confirm this finding.
