Abstract Objectives The aim of this systematic reviews was to synthesize the current studies for the effectiveness of intradialytic resistance exercises with usual care on HD people. Design Meta‐analysis of randomized controlled studies. Methods A systematic search of seven electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, WanFang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and SINOMED, was systematically searched up to May 2018. The reference lists of previously reported systematic review were also checked. Pooled analysis was used to determine effection of intradialytic resistance exercises for haemodialysis people. Physical performance, nutrient intake and quality of life were explored, by comparing the association between effect sizes. Results Fourteen studies of 594 people were included. Compared with control groups, intradialytic resistance exercises significantly improve physical performance included 6‐min walk test, sit‐to‐stand 30 and grip strength. However, no significant improvements were found in nutrient intakes such as dietary protein intake and quality of life.
