Brief summary

Children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing pediatric hemodialysis often experience functional limitations in daily life. Their level of physical activity is generally lower than that of healthy peers of the same age, due to the lack of sports programs adapted both to their medical conditions and to the constraints of dialysis (notably, having to remain in bed for several hours, several times a week). These limitations affect not only their cardiovascular function but also their quality of life. Through the implementation of an Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program for dialysis patients, we aim to assess the potential benefits of this approach on muscle strength, functional abilities, cardiovascular health, and quality of life
