Physical exercise for people with chronic kidney diseases to combat physical inactivity due to COVID-19

The Association to Fight Against Kidney Diseases of Castellón province (Spain), ALCER Castalia, and the CEU Cardenal Herrera University (CEU UCH) have collaborated to create the Basic Manual of Physical Activity for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The exercise table with their recommendations, included in this manual, have been designed by Eva Segura, lecturer of the Degree in Physical Therapy at the CEU UCH, who is a pioneer in the implementation in Spain of physical exercise during sessions of haemodialysis. She also currently heads the GoodRenal project, funded by the Erasmus+ European program, coordinating Spanish entities such as Manises hospital, the University of Valencia and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, and international ones such as the University Hospital of Skånee and the Karolinska Institute of Sweden, the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki of Greece.
