Joint online event provides insights into groundbreaking findings
Exercise during dialysis means more than just physical activity – it promotes patients’ enjoyment of life and sense of community.
A webinar held in December, organised by THERA-Trainer in cooperation with ReNi Deutsche Gesellschaft Rehabilitationssport für chronisch Nierenkranke e.V., takes a fascinating look at the integration of exercise therapy into the treatment of dialysis patients. The event not only provided practical insights, but also presented important study results that illustrate the positive effect of training during haemodialysis.
Background
The ReNi e.V. expert panel, consisting of Stefan Degenhardt (1st Chair), Kirsten Anding-Rost (2nd Chair) and Thomas Bär (Managing Director), gave insightful presentations during the webinar. Stefan Degenhardt emphasised the importance of exercise and sport during haemodialysis, before handing over to Kirsten Anding-Rost, who presented the results of the DiATT study.

The DiATT study shows: Structured training during haemodialysis leads to lasting improvements in the patient’s state of health.
DiATT study: a milestone in dialysis research
The Dialysis Training Therapy Study (DiATT) is a pioneering study in which around 1,000 patients from 21 German dialysis centres took part. The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine – Evidence, show a clear improvement in the health of the participants after one year of structured training, despite the difficult conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Practical implementation and training sessions
In his presentation, Thomas Bär, an expert in dialysis training therapy, talked about the practical implementation of this therapy. He emphasised the importance of a long-term training structure, divided into adaptation, build-up and stabilisation phases. He structured the training sessions themselves into warm-up, main and wind-down phases, with the selection of exercises being individually adapted to the needs of the patients.
