Abstract:

Exercise training is applying in renal rehabilitation. Intensity is an important parameter of exercise prescription for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exercise intensity can be measured in both subjective and objective ways, the former such as Borg Score Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the latter such as peak oxygen uptake and lactic acid threshold, etc. The ways based on oxygen consumption are the most accurate, and the subjective measurement can be a supplement. The benefits of low-intensity exercise are unclear for CKD patients since insufficient researches; moderate-intensity exercise has been proved to be safe and beneficial; vigorous-intensity exercise may protect renal function of CKD, but the safety needs more studies.

Key words: chronic kidney disease, exercise, renal rehabilitation, exercise intensity, review
