BACKGROUND: Several kinds of physical activities have been applied to improve the prognosis of patients with hemodialysis (HD). However, the comparative efficacy of physical activities on the outcomes in HD patients is still unknown. This study explored the effectiveness and safety of all exercise types in HD patients. METHODS: We searched randomized clinical trials from the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Physical exercises interventions included resistance exercise (RE), aerobic exercise (AE), electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), range of motion (ROM), resistance exercise + aerobic exercise (RE + AE), stretching exercise (STE), respiratory muscle training (RMT), peripheral muscle training (PMT), walking exercise (WE), or usual care/sham exercise (UC/SE)...
