The study consists of two groups doing resistance exercise for the first and last two hours of the HD session. The investigators are planning to form the sample size of exercise training from 40 participants, which the investigators determined according to the power analysis the investigators have done based on the blood pressure outcome criterion. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria the investigators have set will be divided into two groups. A resistance exercise training will be given three days a week for eight weeks, with a total of 24 sessions. The number of IRCAs occurring in both groups and blood pressure values to be measured at the beginning and end of the HD session will be checked, and both parameters will be compared between the groups before and after the treatment after 8 weeks of training. Thus, the investigators aim to show how the time factor has an effect on blood pressure. In addition, muscle strength, physical performance and quality of life of participants before and after resistance exercise will be evaluated and compared between groups. The participants' blood pressure will be evaluated with a conventional cuffed sphygmomanometer, muscle strength, digital hand dynamometer, physical performance, Short Physical Performance Battery and Timed Up and Go Test, and their quality of life will be evaluated with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36 (KDQOL-36) quality of life questionnaire. In exercise training, sandbags will be used as resistance. In our study, which the investigators planned as a randomized controlled trial, stratified randomization method will be used to distribute the gender factor homogeneously in both groups.
