I'm happy to see more research in the benefits and also the potential barriers our dialysis patients face with exercise. We all have realized that exercise programs benefit all. It'll be nice to see research for exercise awareness to include safety for this population. Did I mention that research articles are my favorite way to learn? Thank you

I am aware of how vital exercise is for our patients. In our dialysis waiting room, we had a Zumba instructor come to our clinic to demonstrate exercise our patients can perform while waiting for their treatment time. It was awesome! Patients in wheelchairs, who used walkers and ambulatory patients all were able to participate.

Benefits and barriers are similar to the general population. Our patients have the additional barrier of not having the energy and complex comorbidities. Would like to see exercise as part of routine staff and patient education and actually implemented during treatments.

While I feel exercise is very important to our patients, intradialytic exercise poses many problems not to mention increased BP and HR while on treatment as well as potential needle dislodgement etc,... In my opinion, exercise should be on non dialysis days at home. It is certainly beneficial yet I realize there are many barriers at home for supporting a program. Nurses at the dialysis center are busy dialyzing patients and starting an exercise program during that time would require more staff which is mostly not in the budget.
