Primary Inclusion Criteria

Language	Only articles written in English were included in the review due to impracticalities in translating foreign-language articles.
Published	Articles published from 2000 onward were used. This helped to ensure that recent literature was reviewed to give an “up-to-date,” accurate evaluation relevant to the topic area.
Abstract	Due to time constraints, only articles with a clear abstract or title of investigation were obtained and reviewed through the databases.
Content	Articles that focused on, and investigated, the relationship between exercise prescription and QoL in CKD patients were included. This was decided upon by reading relevant abstracts.
Study Design	Only clinical trials, such as randomized controlled trials or uncontrolled trials, were used because these studies provide more standardized results. Secondary sources, such as reviews and publications, were eliminated.
