Physical activity, exercise improves Kidney Function Decline
Observational data from the study published in the Journal of American Medical Association shows that increased physical activity is related with slower renal function decrease; however, no major research has examined whether movement and exercise can reduce kidney function reduction in older persons.
As a result, researchers evaluated if a moderate-intensity exercise intervention may influence the rate of estimated glomerular filtration rate change in older persons. The clinical trial included 1199 community-dwelling, sedentary people aged 70 to 89 years with mobility constraints. A two-year, moderate-intensity physical activity, partially supervised and exercise intervention was compared to a two-year health education control intervention.
