This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether supervised strengthening exercises can help veterans with chronic kidney disease regain muscle mass and strength after being hospitalized. After hospitalization, many patients lose significant muscle, which makes it harder to move around and stay independent. This study will compare a 16-week exercise program with four key movements (squats, shoulder presses, rows, and bicep curls) against usual care to see which approach helps veterans recover better.
Hospital stays cause rapid muscle loss, especially in older adults and those with chronic kidney disease—and this muscle loss is hard to get back. This study aims to find the best way to help veterans rebuild their strength and mobility after hospitalization, so they can stay independent and healthy longer.

You would be assessed at the start to measure your muscle strength, mass, and movement ability. Then, over two years, you'll have check-ins every six months with your doctor and can provide updates about your strength through a smartphone app every three months. If you're hospitalized during the study, you may be invited to join the exercise program: exercising twice a week for 16 weeks with a trainer, or continuing with your usual care. The study sites are in Denver and Baltimore.
