Exercise interventions may be able to blunt the impact of age and declining GFR on loss of physical function. Physical function often deteriorates even more rapidly after initiation of dialysis. An exercise intervention instituted pre-dialysis may provide longer time without frailty than one instituted after dialysis, and may also be easier to perform.
