This bi-modal intervention in HD patients was well tolerated. No intervention-related adverse events were reported. One patient from the CON group was lost to follow-up due to transfer to another dialysis center because of colonization.Adherence to the cycling and cognitive training programs was defined as the total number of completed sessions divided by the total number of all sessions. Adherence to cycling sessions was 79.9 ± 21.2%, with an average session duration of 37.6 ± 12.7 min. Cognitive training adherence was higher, reaching 84.2 ± 14.9% with an average session duration of 34 ± 4 min.Reasons for skipping cycling sessions included pain, fatigue, hematoma, upper respiratory tract infection, COVID-19 infection, hypertension or hypotension, and dyspnea. Cognitive training sessions were mostly missed due to fatigue or COVID-19 isolation.
