Abstract
This article describes the problem of physical rehabilitation in patients who are undergoing long-term dialysis, based on recently published information. Physical activity is an important factor which enables patients to maintain and/or improve their health and well-being. Patients who suffer from end-stage renal disease, undergoing continued dialysis, have reduced tolerance of physical effort. In the 1980s physical training was introduced, and the first research was done on its influence on the state of health. The effects of physical training on physical capacity, muscles, the circulatory system, lipid profile, and psychosocial status have been studied. The influence of EPO-therapy on physical capacity with and without exercise has also been assessed. The results indicate that the physical therapy optimizes the health- related quality of life of patients under dialysis.

Key words:
physical capacity, Muscle, circulatory system, Triglycerides
