    This section features a recent systematic review that is indexed on PEDro, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (http://www.pedro.org.au). PEDro is a free, web-based database of evidence relevant to physiotherapy.

Reduced physical functioning and performance often interferes with the performance of daily activities among people with CKD. Physical exercise training may enhance physical functioning for people with CKD.
