Outline of Final Research Achievements

We carried it out in multI centers and the total of 71 subjects divided it into control group(n=39), electric assist bicycle exercise (EA;n=10) groupthree groups of load quantity variableness type exercise (ER;n=22) groups. In the EA group, We carried out lower limbs exercise using the electric assist bicycle during dialysis for less than one hour at 4-hour dialysis time of twice a week of dialysis and continued it for 12 weeks. the change was not accepted in approximately intervention by the control group and fell to lower limbs muscular strength in the EA group, and skinfold thickness decreased in the ER group, and the increase of the brachial muscle cross section, exercise tolerance increase, balance improvement were recognized. No other parameters did not changed. However, EA and the ER were effective for elderly with end stage renal disease, there were different effects depends on exercise methods.
