Abstract:
Many publications describe the advantages of physical exercise in improving quality of life. The aim of this study was to highlight the need for physical activity when patients commence haemodialysis. A correlation was found between muscular deterioration and the years on haemodialysis and it was accentuated in men. From our study we recommend adequate physical activity at the beginning of, and during the lifetime of haemodialysis to enhance the physical and psychological well being of patients.
