Abstract

CKD is one of the global health problems due to a decline in quality of life often with the development of kidney dysfunction and increased mortality. CKD is progressive and requires dialysis. Patients who undergoing hemodialysis experience a decrease in physical activity which further adds to the health impact. The purpose of this literature review was to describe physical exercise programs for CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. The method used was literature review using EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Proquest databases and obtained 8 high-quality articles. Structured physical exercises that can be done by CKD patients are aerobic activity, strength and flexibility. CKD patients should exercise regularly for at least 30 min per day, as many as 3–5 times per week with an intensity and frequency adjusted to the patient's condition. Physical exercise improves muscle strength, bones, joints, balance and coordination to increase independence, prevent the risk of falls and cardiovascular disease, blood pressure control and diabetes control, which can reduce physical function and premature death due to CKD. Therefore, physical exercise is an important element in the treatment plan of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis, but supervision and assistance from health workers are very necessary in the successful planning of the physical exercise program.
