Abstract End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients generally suffer from lower physical activities, muscle performance, and quality of life (QOL) compared to healthy humans. Dialysis is a medical procedure in which the technique of molecular separation is used to remove metabolic waste products or toxic substances from the blood. Patients who receive hemodialysis had limitations in a number of areas like vitality, physical activities and physical role limitations and assumed a significantly lower physical functioning when compared with that of general population. Intradiaylatic exercise interventions that are safe, and can be safely performed in the first 2 hours of dialysis without cardiac decompensation, theses exercises done in between the hemodialysis sessions while patients are connected to machine are called as Intradiaylatic exercises. Exercises provided during hemodialysis do not cost patients extra time and will be effective in decreasing the level of fatigue and increasing potential for performing their daily activities. Providing these exercises with dialysis will improve the effectiveness of dialysis and alleviates long term complications of the same.
