Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with systemic repercussions, compromising muscle function and making patients less exercise tolerant. Objective: To verify the contribution of peripheral muscle strength in the exercise capacity of patients in hemodialysis (HD), as well as to compare peripheral muscle strength and exercise capacity between renal patients and healthy individuals. Method: 50 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who performed HD and 13 healthy subjects underwent anthropometric evaluation, evaluation of peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary function test and exercise capacity assessment. Results: Simple linear regression indicated that the peripheral muscle strength contributed 41.4% to the distance walked in the six-minute walk test (R2 0.414; p < 0.001), showing that for every 1 Kgf reduced in the right lower limb the patient it stops walking 0.5m while for every 1 Kgf reduced in the lower left limb the patient stops walking 0.8m. In addition, it was observed that patients with CKD had a reduction in right lower limb muscle strength (129.44 ± 48.05 vs. 169.36 ± 44.30, p = 0.002), left (136.12 ± 52, 08 vs 168.40 ± 43.35, p = 0.01) and exercise capacity (421.20 ± 98.07 vs. 611.28 ± 80.91, p < 0.001) when compared to healthy pairs. Conclusion: Peripheral muscle weakness is an important limiting factor for exercise in CKD and patients on HD experience a decline in peripheral muscle strength and exercise capacity when compared to healthy individuals.

The Impact

The capacity to exercise is a major contributor to functional limitation and is accompanied by increased morbidity and mortality. What are the most important physiological contributors to exercise capacity?Cross-sectional data from consecutive patients referred to the McMaster University Medical Centre exercise laboratory for incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing from 1988 to 2012 were analysed. Exercise capacity was determined by maximal power output (MPO) in kpm·min−1. The contributions of quadriceps strength (maximal peak force in kg using maximal dynamic voluntary contractions against hydraulic resistance), inspiratory muscle strength (determined using maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)), maximal breathing capacity (MBC) and gas exchange (carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (KCO)) were determined using regression coefficients in a multiple linear regression model. Dyspnoea and leg fatigue were measured using the modified Borg scale. Contributors to dyspnoea and leg fatigue were assessed using nonlinear regression.A total of 36 389 patients were included (60% male, mean±sd age 53±18 years). Mean±sd MPO, quadriceps strength and MIP achieved were 792±333 kpm·min−1, 46±18 kg and 75±31 cmH2O, respectively. MIP and quadriceps strength accounted for over half the variation in MPO (R2=0.57). Quadriceps strength was a stronger predictor of MPO (standardised regression coefficient, β±se 0.37±0.005) than MBC (β±se 0.16±0.005) and KCO (β±se 0.16±0.004), when adjusted for age, sex, height and weight. The effort required to cycle and breathe at any given power intensified systematically as both respiratory and peripheral muscle strength declined.Muscle weakness causes exercise intolerance and should be routinely assessed in patients presenting with fatigue and dyspnoea, and those with functional limitation both in the presence or absence of disease.

Objective We aimed to compare functional exercise capacity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary function and quality of life between patients with stable angina and healthy controls. Methods We compared 33 patients with stable angina (55.21 ± 6.12 years old, Canada Class II–III, left ventricular ejection fraction: 61.92 ± 7.55) and 30 healthy controls (52.70 ± 4.22 years old). Functional capacity (6-minute walk test (6-MWT)), respiratory muscle strength (mouth pressure device), peripheral muscle strength (dynamometer), pulmonary function (spirometer) and quality of life (Short Form 36 (SF-36)) were evaluated. Results 6-MWT distance (499.20 ± 51.91 m versus 633.05 ± 57.62 m), maximal inspiratory pressure (85.42 ± 20.52 cmH2O versus 110.44 ± 32.95 cmH2O), maximal expiratory pressure (83.33 ± 19.05 cmH2O versus 147.96 ± 54.80 cmH2O) and peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary function and SF-36 sub-scores were lower in the angina group versus the healthy controls, respectively. Conclusion Impaired peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, reduction in exercise capacity and quality of life are obvious in patients with stable angina. Therefore, these parameters should be considered in stable angina physiotherapy programmes to improve impairments.
