Effectiveness of Aerobic Exercise on Physical Functions, Autonomic Functions, Sleep Quality, Depression, Anxiety, And Stress In Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Background and objectives

CKD has become the primary cause of illness and death worldwide. A routine of aerobic exercise and healthy living are essential to preventing the development of CKD. Recently, research from across the world has been conducted to support the relatively new notion of regular low-intensity exercise for renal patients, and its prospective advantages. Method: In this narrative review, we look at the research that has been done on how aerobic exercise affects the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and how well it works for patients' physical and autonomic functioning as well as their sleep quality, stress levels, depression, and anxiety. Results: Based on available data, it is evident that engaging in low-intensity aerobic exercise and implementing healthy lifestyle habits provide distinct benefits for surviving. Discussion: The length of follow-up and the small sample sizes of several of the current research are their limitations because there were few articles and varying definitions of behaviours, referent groups, and CKD progression, doing meta-analyses took a lot of work. Therefore, additional study is required to give practical ways for measuring how effectively aerobic exercise impacts physical functions, autonomic functions, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress levels in persons with renal illness
