- Impact of physical activity and exercise on bone health in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review of observational and experimental studiesPublication . Cardoso, Daniela F.; Marques, Elisa A.; Leal, Diogo V.; Ferreira, Aníbal; Baker, Luke A.; Smith, Alice C.; Viana, João L.Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients frequently develop life-impairing bone mineral disorders. Despite the reported impact of exercise on bone health, systematic reviews of the evidence are lacking. This review examines the association of both physical activity (PA) and the effects of different exercise interventions with bone outcomes in CKD.
- Response of the oxygen uptake efficiency slope to exercise training in patients with chronic kidney diseasePublication . Wilkinson, Thomas J.; Watson, Emma L.; Vadaszy, Noemi; Baker, Luke A.; Viana, João L.; Smith, Alice C.Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have poor cardiorespiratory fitness. Although cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a universal assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness, values taken at 'peak' effort are strongly influenced by motivation and the choice of test endpoint. The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) integrates cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and respiratory function into a single index to provide a more pragmatic and safer alternative to maximal testing. No research has explored whether exercise can improve the OUES in CKD patients.
