Abstract: Appropriate exercise not only helps improve the physical function of patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis, but also alleviates their negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. The benefits of exercise depend on the long-term exercise compliance of patients. However, due to concerns about the impact on dialysis and the lack of an established exercise plan, the actual exercise compliance of patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis is generally low. This article reviews the benefits of long-term exercise for maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients, the current situation of exercise compliance, the reasons for non-compliance, and the strategies for improving exercise compliance among these patients, aiming to provide references for formulating long-term and compliant exercise programs for maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients.

Key words: Peritoneal dialysis, Exercise, Compliance
