| Descrizione: | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major pathology that directly affects the kidney function and the quality of life of those suffering from it. Managing this disease requires a multidisciplinary effort in which the participation, input, advice and intervention of health professionals is effective. In this case, the role of an exercise science professional becomes relevant, due to the benefits caused by systematic physical activity and exercise on CKD patients. The objective of this study is to show how an exercise professional contributes to an improvement in the patient's health and, therefore, in their quality of life. Nevertheless, particular emphasis is placed on exercise professionals, who are trained to prescribe and implement various specific physical activity programs for patients with CKD. This is based on the benefits of regular exercise on patients, foremost among which are the improvement in cardiovascular function, weight control, blood pressure reduction, adequate levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, improvements in metabolic status and education of patients in keeping healthy habits. The conclusion is that an active involvement of exercise professionals is essential for holistic rehabilitation of CKD patients in all their stages (pre-dialysis, dialysis, and kidney transplant). These professionals allow the safe and adequate prescription of individualized exercise programs, with positive results in muscle mass, functional ability, cardiovascular condition, quality of life and morbimortality reduction. In addition, the study emphasizes the need to overcome organizational and formational barriers, and to consolidate an interdisciplinary approach to incorporate exercise as a key therapeutic intervention. |
