NCT02908594

Brief Summary

Aim. To investigate the effect of an intradialytic aerobic and resistance cycling exercise program (IARCEP) on depression, fatigue, and quality of life (QOL) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving haemodialysis, and further determine the effect of mediation through self-efficacy and resilience in patients receiving the IARCEP. Background. Depression and fatigue are common in ESRD patients undergoing haemodialysis, which negatively affects their QOL. Exercise can mitigate this effect. Patient's self-efficacy and resilience may be crucial mediators in exercise. Design. This study was a randomised controlled trial. Method. Seventy-six participants were randomly assigned to either a control or exercise group. Both groups received routine care; whereas the exercise group participated the 3- months IARCEP. Data were collected at baseline, the first, second, and third months, over a 14 months in 2013-2014.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Generalized estimating equation model on the effects of depression, fatigue, and health-related quality of life

    Data were collected over a 14 months in 2013-2014.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Differences-in-differences on the effects of the depression, fatigue, quality of life in exercise group

    Data were collected over a 14 months in 2013-2014.

  • Generalized estimating equation on the mediated effects of self-efficacy and resilience with exercise on outcomes

    Data were collected over a 14 months in 2013-2014.

  • The mediated effects on relationships between exercise and outcomes

    Data were collected over a 14 months in 2013-2014.

Study Arms (2)

exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

Using the Medical Exercise Peddler 3000, Medi-Bike, Taiwan as an exercise tool. Exercise group received routine care and 3- months exercise. The exercise was performed during the first 2 hr of each haemodialysis session (30 min per session, 3 sessions per week for 3 months).

Device: Medical Exercise Peddler 3000, Medi-Bike, Taiwan

control group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group received routine care

Interventions

A horizontal electromagnetic cycle ergometer (Medical Exercise Peddler 3000, Medi-Bike, Taiwan) was used for the exercise program. The cycling equipment includes the resistance of 6 Levels, from Level 1 the lightest to Level 6 the heaviest. Other indicators examined are RPM (rotary per minute), DICT (The distance for this exercise), TIME (The time of exercise). This is the simplest way to use this Motion Exercise Machine. Press the "ST / SP (Start/ Stop)" button to start an exercise program for 30 minutes.
