This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether exercising during your dialysis sessions can help improve your sleep quality, reduce depression and anxiety, and boost your overall well-being. You would do gentle aerobic exercise using a leg machine for 30 minutes during three of your weekly dialysis treatments over 12 weeks. Researchers believe this approach could help you stay active without taking up extra time outside of dialysis.
Many dialysis patients spend their treatment time resting in bed, which can contribute to poor sleep, low mood, and anxiety. This trial is exploring whether adding simple exercise during dialysis—when you're already at the clinic—could be an easy way to improve both your physical and mental health without requiring extra effort on your part.

If you join the exercise group, you would come to your regular dialysis sessions three times per week and use a leg exercise machine for 30 minutes during each session for 12 weeks. The other group continues dialysis as usual without the exercise. Researchers will check your sleep quality, mood, and anxiety levels at the start and end of the study to see if the exercise made a difference.
