The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on the Quality of Sleep in patients with Chronic Renal Disease- A Randomized Controlled Trials

Background and objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern, and preventing it requires a healthy lifestyle. Research suggests low-intensity exercise may be beneficial for renal patients, especially in renal rehabilitation. Regular physical exercise improves sleep quality and reduces sleep disorders symptoms, with moderate-intensity exercise becoming popular for sleep issues. Aerobic exercise therapy can improve sleep quality and assist with cardiovascular disease and overall quality of life. Aerobic resistance training may become a viable rehabilitation option in the future. Method: To examine the potential benefits of therapeutic aerobic exercise, 150 participants with chronic renal disease were divided into two groups: the control group received standard care, while the intervention group underwent a six-month aerobic exercise program in addition to conventional therapy.   Results:  The research indicated that aerobic activities may enhance the sleep quality of patients in all stages of CKD.  Conclusion: Aerobic workouts, a nonpharmacological treatment, can improve sleep levels, enhance quality of life, and be cost-effective and safe for patients when started gradually.
