The purpose of this study is to determine whether a supervised resistance exercise training during hemodialysis is effective to increase physical activity in daily life in patients with end stage renal disease.
The patients will be randomized into two groups: intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group will receive a supervised resistance exercise training, during hemodialysis, three times/week for 12 weeks, and patients allocate to the control group will received a passive stretching program during the same timeframe.

During the first week of training will be conducted two sets of 10 repetitions, and from the second week of training until the twelfth will be performed three sets of 10 repetitions. The work rate will set to the tolerance of each patient as established by his/her inability to maintain Borg ratings for dyspnea and effort (10-point category-ratio Borg scale) scores between "4" and "6".
