This study is a randomised controlled intervention trial for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (n=32). The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of an intradialytic training with a simple bed compatible trainingstool in comparison to a control group.
Patients are randomised to either the intervention or control group at the beginning of the study. Both groups are evaluated at the beginning and after 2 months regarding their body composition, physical performance, fatigue and quality of life. The control group receives usual care. The intervention group receives an intradialytic exercise training with a bed compatible trainingstool.
3,224 studies on the registry are indexed under Renal Insufficiency, Chronic; 706 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 32 is below the median of 74 across 2,229 interventional studies indexed under Renal Insufficiency, Chronic.

Exclusion Criteria:
3 months intradialytic exercise intervention: 30 minutes of endurance training at the dialysis unit with a dialysis training device, twice a week.
Behavioral: Intradialytic exercise training
Usual Care
Behavioral: Control
The patients in the intervention group will receive 3 months of endurance training, 2x/week for 30 min. 5 min of this should be a warm-up, 20 min of exertion and 5 min of cool down. The warm-up and cool-down should be equivalent to a very light load (Borg scale 9), whereas the exertion phase should be exhausting for the patients (Borg scale 14-15).
Usual care
Sit-to-stand test (STS60)
measured in number of repetitions in 60 seconds
Time frame: 3 month
Timed-up-and-go test (TUG)
measured in time (seconds)
Time frame: 3 month
muscle mass
measured in kg by bio-impedance analysis
Time frame: 3 month
body fat mass
measured in kg by bio-impedance analysis
Time frame: 3 month
Quality of life by Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL)
measured in change of scale by questionnaire (higher Score = better health; Questions are combined to form items and the average is calculated; Range from 0-100)
Time frame: 3 month
Fatigue by Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS)
measured in change of scale by questionnaire (scores can range from 10 (lowest level of fatigue) to 50 (highest level of fatigue)
Time frame: 3 month
activity by Freiburg Questionnaire of physical activity
measured in change of scale by questionnaire (The higher the score, the more active the participant. the lowest level would be a score of 0)
Time frame: 3 month
