@heitorribeiros Back pain, fatigue, short of breath, etc.

@HsinYuFang1 What kind of trouble? The STS-60 seconds is also being very used, even harder than the 10 one. #GREXJC

Another thing this study surprised me was that STS-10 was used. From our experience, our patients might even have trouble with 5x STS. #GREXJC

@SpelaBogataj @anniebelch Thank you for the feedback! I was wondering what the best patient-to-kinesiologist ratio is for an intervention study like this.

Hi guys, my name is Shelly and I'm a PhD student from Ken's lab. I really like the study design of this study (randomized+blinded assessors). Questions: 1) For 40 patients, how many kinesiologists did you need in this study? #grexjc

@HsinYuFang1 Hi Shelly!

More questions :) 2) Both the adherence to IDC and functional training seemed to drop during phase 2. What could be the causes for this? 3) How did you encourage your participants to overcome the barriers to exercise which were listed in the discussion session? #GREXJC

@GREXercise The reason why I was curious about this issue is that when cycling in the sitting position, the blow flood return should be anti-gravity. Don't know if this may cause more challenges for the heart.

I think the most important thing is to just getting patients moving! Any other thoughts on this from anyone? #GREXJC

I have one stupid question: do you think cycling in supine or sitting position cause the same beneficial effect? #GREXJC

We have been doing intradialytic cycling with our dialysis patients. The cycling duration is usually around 30 minutes, depending on symptoms. Intensity ranges from RPE 10-15. Patients cycle in sitting position. #GREXJC
