The Effect of Resistance Exercise to Augment Long-term Benefits of Intradialytic Oral Nutritional Supplementation in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Trial flow chart (NS, nutrition supplementation; NS + EX, nutrition supplementation plus resistance exercise).

Box and whisker plot (box represents the interquartile range, whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box, and the line within the box represents the median) of the total lean body mass as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at baseline, 3 month and 6 month of follow-up. P value comparing the 2 treatments over time was obtained from the general linear model with bootstrap covariance accounting for correlated measures within a subject.

Box and whisker plot (box represents the interquartile range, whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box, and circles beyond the whiskers are extreme values, the line within the box represents the median) of the leg lean mass measured by DEXA at baseline, 3 month, and 6 month of follow-up. P value comparing the 2 treatments over time was obtained from the general linear model with bootstrap covariance accounting for correlated measures within a subject.

Box and whisker plot (box represents the interquartile range, whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box, and circles beyond the whiskers are extreme values, the line within the box represents the median) of the lean body mass as percentage of body weight measured by DEXA at baseline, 3 month, and 6 month of follow-up. P value comparing the 2 treatments over time was obtained from the general linear model with bootstrap covariance accounting for correlated measures within a subject.

Box and whisker plot (box represents the interquartile range, whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box, and circles beyond the whiskers are extreme values, the line within the box represents the median) of body weight measured by DEXA at baseline, 3 month, and 6 month of follow-up. P value showing the changes over time in the whole cohort adjusted for treatment effect was obtained from the general linear model with bootstrap covariance accounting for correlated measures within a subject.

Box and whisker plot (box represents the interquartile range, whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box, and circles beyond the whiskers are extreme values, the line within the box represents the median) of one-repetition maximum at baseline, 3 month, and 6 month of follow-up. P value showing the changes over time in the whole cohort adjusted for treatment effect was obtained from the general linear model with bootstrap covariance accounting for correlated measures within a subject.
