Brief summary: The aimed this study is to examine the effects of calisthenic exercises on aerobic capacities, muscle strength and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Detailed description: The study is a randomized single-blind placebo-controlled study. . At the beginning and end of the study, all patients will be asked to answer questions including demographic information and a quality of life questionnaire for kidney patients. A 6-minute walking test and a 30-second sit-stand test will be applied by the research physiotherapist to measure their aerobic capacity. Again, a dynamometer will be used to measure muscle strength.

The hypotheses the investigators will test for this purpors; H0 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases aerobic capacity. H1Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients increases muscle strength.H2 Calisthenic exercise in hemodialysis patients improves the quality of life.
