Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluid loss following hemodialysis (HD) on tibialis anterior (TA) strength in participants with end-stage renal disease. Issues concerning measures of skeletal muscle hydration and efficacy of exercise as an anabolic intervention were also addressed.

METHODS: Data from published literature were combined in a meta-analysis to establish efficacy of exercise in participants on HD. Three clinical studies were undertaken using data acquired from healthy volunteers and participants on HD. Hydration of the calf muscles was estimated using bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) [extracellular (ECF) and intracellular (ICF) fluid] …
