A research consortium led by Prof. Martin Halle has been awarded the Hufeland Prize by Deutsche Ärzteversicherung for a scientific study on training sessions during dialysis. Together with researchers from the University of Cologne and the University of Freiburg, Prof. Halle was able to prove that trained kidney patients are physically fitter and need to be treated in hospitals less often.

Around 1000 patients in 21 German dialysis centers took part in the large-scale study. According to the researchers, training during dialysis should become standard practice.
