Effect of calisthenic exercise program on inflammatory markers, quality of life and exercise capacity after renal transplantation: a randomized controlled study
Öz
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of calisthenic exercise training on inflammatory markers, biochemical values, quality of life and exercise capacity after renal transplantation.
Methods: This study involved 29 patients who underwent renal transplantation. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, calisthenic exercise and control groups. All patients’ complete blood counts, serum creatinine, total protein, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, low- and high-density lipoprotein, C reactive protein and interleukin 6 levels were determined by appropriate biochemical methods. General quality of life was assessed with the Short Form 36 (SF-36), disease-specific quality of life was assessed with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (KDQOL-SF) and exercise capacity was measured by the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT). Supervised and home exercises were given to exercise group individually. Participants in the control group just received the education session and continued their current medical therapies.
Results: The social function subparameter of quality of life measurement was better in the Exercise Group (p<0.05). Level of patient satisfaction also was better in the Exercise Group (p<0.05). Serum biochemical levels, KDQOL-SF and 6-MWT evaluations were not statistically different between the groups (p>0.05). There was an increase in hemoglobin values and 18-meter improvement in 6-MWT in the exercise group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed that calisthenic exercise training increased exercise capacity, hemoglobin levels, satisfaction levels and some parameters of quality of life in renal transplantation patients and these results positively affect the outcomes of renal transplantation.
