Resistance or strength exercise training may help reverse the @entity3147 common among @entity1 in @entity177 and delay the progression of @entity8 . Resistance training is characterized by resisting, lifting, and lowering weights. It results in muscle mass accretion, improved physical function, and slowed progression of @entity2057 . Resistance exercise training for a period of 8 to 12 weeks results in significant increases in muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle function in frail "healthy" elderly individuals as well as in specific @entity1 populations. States of @entity3147 leading to @entity2057 directly affect lean tissue mass and functional capacity. Even at dietary protein intake below the Recommended Dietary Allowances, resistance training appears to exert an anabolic effect by improving energy intake and protein use allowing @entity1568 retention. The potential benefits of resistance exercise extend beyond this direct impact on protein metabolism. They include improvements in functional capacity such as gait, balance, mobility, strength, exercise tolerance, improved @entity413 uptake, insulin sensitivity, and self-efficacy and self-esteem. Currently, the effects of resistance exercise in renal @entity1 are unknown, although they are well shown in the case of other diseases. The potential benefits that resistance exercise training may have on muscle mass and function, nutritional status, @entity4854 , disease progression, and the overall mental well-being of renal @entity1 deserve further investigation. As an adjunct to current treatment modalities for @entity177 , resistance exercise may serve as a cost-effective, interdisciplinary, noninvasive approach to counteract @entity3147 and improve the quality of life.
