Brief Summary: Arterial calcification is very common in the incident hemodialysis population, ranging 71-83%.Given that cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the hemodialysis population, medial arterial calcification may contribute through increased risk of sudden death and congestive heart failure. Applanation tonometry is the method of choice to measure pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis. The primary objective will be to assess the effect of a 16 week exercise program on aortic pulse wave velocity as the vascular parameter and gait speed as the physical functioning parameter. The secondary objectives will assess the effect of the exercise program on ultrafiltration rates, weight, SBP, DBP, BNP, hsTroponin, serum calcium, phosphate, albumin, glucose, LDL, HDL, TG, glycated hemoglobin, hemoglobin, CRP, micro RNAs (21, 126, 133, 146a, 221/222 and 210) and hospitalizations.
Detailed Description: The investigators propose a pilot project to assess the effect of a 16 week aerobic exercise program on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in the hemodialysis population. The primary objective will be to assess the effect of a 16 week exercise program on aortic pulse wave velocity as the vascular parameter and gait speed as the physical functioning parameter. The secondary objectives will assess the effect of the exercise program on ultrafiltration rates, weight, SBP, DBP, BNP, hsTroponin, serum calcium, phosphate, albumin, glucose, LDL, HDL, TG, glycated hemoglobin, hemoglobin, CRP, micro RNAs (21, 126, 133, 146a, 221/222 and 210) and hospitalizations.

Study Design:

Randomized-controlled study of end stage renal disease patients between the age of 18 and 90 years to assess the effect of exercise on arterial stiffness. Our aim is to have 23 patients in both groups. The study period will be 24 weeks-4 weeks for recruitment, 16 weeks for the intervention and 4 weeks for data collection and analysis. The protocol will be submitted to the MUHC Research Ethics Board.

The following outcomes are of interest:

1. change in gait speed before and after the exercise program
2. change in pulse wave velocity before and after the exercise program
3. change in BNP, blood pressure, dialysis ultrafiltration, hemoglobin, micro RNAs before and after the exercise program
