Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes

In brief

The current study is designed to examine the impact of 16 weeks of moderate intensity aerobic training on arterial stiffness and blood pressure in stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The investigators hypothesize that short term aerobic training will improve the stiffness of arteries in CKD patients.
