TL;DR: Assuming that the effect of sitting time on all-cause mortality risk is independent of physical activity, reducing sitting time plays an important role in active lifestyle promotion, which is an important aspect of premature mortality prevention worldwide.

Effects of exercise in the whole spectrum of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Evidence is strongest for the effects of aerobic exercise on improving physical fitness, muscular strength and quality of life in dialysis patients, and the best exercise protocol for CKD patients also remains to be established.
