The objective of this study is to compare the rate of low blood pressure events (Intradialytic Hypotension: IDH) when intradialytic exercise is performed in the first half of the hemodialysis (HD) session as compared to that when intradialytic exercise is performed in the second half of the HD session. The investigators expect that there will be little to no difference in occurrence of IDH episodes between the two time periods based on the experience of the 3 centres and imaging studies of the heart with exercise in HD.
