Prevalence and incidence of advanced chronic kidney disease have grown progressively in most countries of the world. At present, there are approximately 20,000 people with renal replacement therapy in Colombia, which is equivalent to an estimated prevalence of 450 patients per million people. Hemodialysis is the most common treatment that supersedes the renal function; although, patients undergoing the treatment may present many alterations that conduces to a loss of physical functional capacity and decreased quality of life related to health. It remains unknown to what extent a low physical activity, uremia and anemia determines the diminution of functional capacity in these patients. Functional tests most frequently used in the published literature are characterized by their ease of implementation and low cost, since they do not require large measurement instruments to quantify basic qualities in the subjects with dysfunction or impairment in the renal system. Taking as axle within the kinetic wellness the aerobic capacity, muscle performance and flexibility, which are altered in the stay units in renal dialysis.
