| Abstract Background: Chronic kidney disease is the progressive deficiency of renal function for months and years, may reach life threatening stage. Aim of Study: This study was conducted to determine the effect of aerobic exercise versus resisted exercise on urea reduction ratio and 6 minute walk test. Subjects and Methods: Thirty patients of both sex with chronic renal failure were participated in the study, their age ranged from 25 to 35 years old and recruited from Hemodial-ysis Unit of benha University Hospital. They were randomly assigned into two equal Groups (A & B). Group A was received resistance exercise while Group B was received aerobic exercise. Both groups were received session twice per week for 2 months. Measurements were measured twice, before and after treatment: Urea reduction ratio and, 6 minute walk test. Results: The results showed that there were significant improvement in urea reduction ratio and 6 minute walk test in both groups after treatment while there were no significant difference between two groups after treatment. Conclusion: Both aerobic and resisted training exercise are effective in improvement dialysis efficiency and perform-ance. With no difference between both groups post-treatment. | ||
