At the same time, ESRD patients with HD had a much reduced exercise capacity than ESRD patients without HD because of the illness, HD's side effects and deteriorating comorbidities. The indirect measurement of aerobic capacity and the oxidative capacity of peripheral muscle, known as the VO2 peak, was extensively utilised and was a powerful predictor of the survival time of ESRD patients. An earlier meta-analysis's findings, which suggested that consistent exercise was good for aerobic capacity, were inconsistent with this one. Exercise induced a rise in VO2 peak, a sign of enhanced aerobic capacity. Then, as a result of decreased fatigue, individuals with ESRD who are receiving HD may increase their activity time, abandon a sedentary lifestyle and finally see a decline in mortality.
