Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, exercise equipment which allows a hemodialysis patient to exercise easily on a bed was developed. Then, 15 exercise patients with chronic haemodialysis were provided with an exercise regimen using the developed exercise equipment, and the long-term intervention effect was assessed. As a result, the standing time of the Short Physical Performance Battery was significantly improved 6 months after the　start of the exercises and also 12 months after. In addition, a questionnaire of value discount using virtual monetary remuneration was adopted for 65 patients with chronic haemodialysis, and the influence on exercise habits exerted by impulsivity was examined. As a result, k (discount rate) of the hyperbolic function model of the value discount representing individual impulsivity was not significantly related to exercise habits.
