Effects of the Life – Build – Line Exercise on Physical Performance and Cardiovascular Function in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 Patients: A Pilot Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 are one of the causes of kidney deterioration with age, behavior, and lack of exercise. Movement of body is reduced, effect to the accumulation of fat mass and reduced physical performance. A previous study found that effect of cardiovascular function and thigh muscle strength in exercise with the life – build – line (LBL) had a greater than the calisthenic exercise group in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, the researcher applied it in this study. The objective was to compare the effect of LBL exercise training and calisthenic exercise on physical fitness and cardiovascular function in chronic kidney disease stage 3 patients.
The research design was the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). The 8 subjects aged 40-65 years. Chronic kidney disease stage 3 patients have eGFR 30-59 ml/min/1.73m2. They were divided into 2 groups, which were LBL exercise training and calisthenic exercise performed the exercise for 6 weeks, testing by using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney U Test statistic.
Results show that: the LBL exercise group had a mean age of 58.75 years (eGFR 52.4 mL/min/1.73m2) and the exercise group had a mean age of 61.75 years (eGFR 54.05 mL/min/1.73m2). After exercise for 6 weeks showed that flexibility was increased in the LBL exercise group when comparing with calisthenic exercise (p<0.05).
It was concluded that the 6 weeks LBL exercise improves flexibility when compared with calisthenic exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3.
