The hypotheses to be investigated are that, compared to ESRD patients on maintenance dialysis receiving stretches only, the addition of 30-45 min of progressive resistance training during the hemodialysis session will counteract the burden of renal disease and will result in:
1. A feasible and safe exercise modality for ESRD patients.
2. Will contribute to improved nutritional status and reduced systemic inflammation
3. Will result in improved quality of life
