Condition
Uremic myopathy in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis

Primary outcome measure
1. 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)

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 measures
1. 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
