- Abstract
People receiving peritoneal dialysis (PrPD) tend to be physically inactive, with consequent adverse outcomes including increased mortality, reduced technique, and hospitalization free survival. Exercise is a form of planned physical activity which has the potential to improve these outcomes. Feasibility studies suggest that exercise interventions are safe in PrPD. However, the uptake of exercise is low. In this review, we explore the benefits of exercise in this population, noting the limitations in the existing evidence. We highlight the challenges and uncertainties associated with exercise, including the perceptions of patients and clinicians. Finally, the opportunities for increasing exercise uptake are discussed, alongside future research priorities.
