Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: A convenience sample of 42 hemodialysis patients was enrolled at a university hospital-affiliated hemodialysis center among 100 potential participants after screening based on the eligibility criteria. All participants were undergoing regular hemodialysis (3 times/week in 3–4-h sessions) using a Formula 2000 device (Bellco, Italy) with a synthetic cellulose membrane and bicarbonate dialysate. The eligibility criteria were 1) age of =18 years 2) hemodialysis duration of =3 months required for dialysis adjustment (Tao, Chow, & Wong, 2015; Lopes et al, 2019) 3) no perfusion problems through arteriovenous fistula to maintain adequate blood flow (250 mL/min) 4) no severe hemodialysis-related complications 5) the ability to use a cycle ergometer while lying in the dialysis bed 6) the cognitive ability to read and comprehend the questionnaire.
