Scientific titleThe effects of 16 weeks high load strength training and protein intake in patients undergoing dialysis: a prospective randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesStrength training and protein intake increase muscle strength more than strength training alone in patients undergoing dialysis
Ethics approval(s)Scientific committee, Region Hovedstaden, Denmark approved on 7th April 2009 (Number: H-D-2008-124)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedUremic myopathy in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis
InterventionExercise and intake of protein or non-protein energy:
Strength training for lower limbs three times per week in 16 weeks (48 sessions). The patients were randomised to exercise and a protein intake after each exercise session or exercise and a isocaloric non-protein intake.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Muscle strength (equipment: Good Strength)
2. Muscle power (equipment: Power Rig)
3. Physical function (Chair stand test from The Senior Fitness Test)
4. Selfrated health (Short Form 36 questionaire)
5. Muscle size and type (muscle biopsy from the vastus lateralis muscle)
6. Electromyography (EMG) (surface from the vastus lateralis muscle)
7. Anabolic hormones (blood tests)
8. Insulin resistance (the oral glucose tolerence test)

All tests are done three times: A pretest 16 weeks before the baseline test with no intervention in between and a final retest after the 16 weeks of intervention
Secondary outcome measures1. Physical activity
2. Food intake
3. Body weight
4. Kidney function

All tests are done three times: A pretest 16 weeks before the baseline test with no intervention in between and a final retest after the 16 weeks of intervention
