A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of a walking program with dogs on ventilatory functions and physical intolerance in adolescents suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. Forty adolescents will be randomly assigned to two groups: one group will receive training with an incentive spirometer, while the other group will also participate in walking with dogs for additional physical activity. Both groups will engage in these activities three times a week for 12 weeks during their dialysis sessions. The goal is to assess whether the combination of these interventions can enhance their quality of life and physical capabilities.
