The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the health-related physical fitness for the patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis and determine the suitability of Eurofit Test Battery for adults to decide their health-related physical fitness level. Eighteen patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (age 49.7+17.9, 10 female / 8 male) was evaluated and compared with 22 age-matched healthy subjects (age 50.5 + 9.4 years, 13 female / 9 male) for this purposes. Eurofit Test Battery for Adults is composed of aerobic fitness, musculoskeletal fitness, motor fitness, and anthropometry components. Aerobic fitness, which was assessed by six minutes walking distance, was lower in the patient group than controls (p < 0.05). Hemodialysis patients had lower motor fitness (0.000) and musculoskeletal fitness including vertical jump and handgrip tests (0.047, 0.002). Percentage of body fat and skinfold thickness values measured from triceps, subscapular, abdominal, and thigh were also lower in patient group (p < 0.05). Additionally no complication was seen during and/or after the tests. In conclusion, the Eurofit for adults may be considered a useful test battery to evaluate the physical fitness and design the health-related physical fitness program based on the Eurofit results in this population.
本研究的主要目的是评估接受血液透析的终末期肾病患者的健康相关身体素质，并确定成人欧洲体质测试组合（Eurofit Test Battery）对于判定其健康相关身体素质水平的适用性。为此，对18例接受血液透析的终末期肾病（ESRD）患者（年龄49.7±17.9岁，女性10例/男性8例）进行了评估，并与22名年龄匹配的健康受试者（年龄50.5±9.4岁，女性13例/男性9例）进行了比较。成人欧洲体质测试组合由有氧适能、肌肉骨骼适能、运动适能和人体测量学部分组成。通过6分钟步行距离评估的有氧适能，患者组低于对照组（p<0.05）。血液透析患者的运动适能较低（0.000），肌肉骨骼适能包括纵跳和握力测试也较低（0.047，0.002）。患者组的体脂百分比以及从肱三头肌、肩胛下、腹部和大腿测量的皮褶厚度值也较低（p<0.05）。此外，在测试期间和/或之后未观察到并发症。总之，成人欧洲体质测试组合可被视为一种有用的测试组合，用于评估该人群的身体素质，并根据欧洲体质测试结果设计与健康相关的身体素质计划。
