Individuals infected with HIV experience numerous comorbidities caused by the disease progression and medications, lack of (or inability to perform) physical activity, malnutrition, or a combination these causes. Common symptoms include loss muscle mass, fatigue, lypodystrophy, lypoatrophy, decreases in strength, functional capacity, overall quality life. Studies have shown that exercise is potential treatment many symptoms. Research suggests may produce beneficial physiological changes...

Purpose: The Energy Balance Study (EBS) was a comprehensive study designed to determine over period of 12 months the associations caloric intake and energy expenditure on changes in body weight composition population healthy men women. Method: EBS recruited women aged 21 35 years with mass index between 20 kg/m2. Measurements multiple objective measures expenditure, as well other physiological, anthropomorphic psychosocial measurements, were made quarterly. Resting metabolic rate blood...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects combined aerobic and resistance exercise training among self-reported mood disturbances, perceived stress, frequency symptoms, symptom distress in a sample HIV+ adults. For purpose, 49 participants were randomly assigned into an (EX) or control (CON) group. Those EX group completed 50 min supervised at moderate intensity twice week for 6 weeks. CON reported university engaged sedentary activities. Data collected baseline before...

Conditioning the body to undergo physical stress such as joint arthroplasty has been termed prehabilitation. This case study examined effect of a 4-week prehabilitation intervention on functional outcomes after total knee (TKA). Two female subjects completed baseline strength and assessments before TKA. Subjects were randomized either (ES) aimed at increasing range motion or usual care condition (CS). After 4 weeks training, reassessed underwent final assessment 12 Functional included...

Recent data show that people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which could possibly be explained by an increased prevalence metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) due to the known toxicities associated antiretroviral therapy (ART). The purpose this study is examine relationships between physical activity (PA) and components MetSyn in sample PLWHA taking ART. A total 31 males 32 females HIV currently ART were enrolled home-based PA intervention aimed...

For someone managing type 1 diabetes, understanding their body's glucose response to physical activity could aid in effectively addressing nocturnal hypoglycemia. The purpose of this investigation was examine the acute temporal associations between blood and measures moderate-vigorous (MVPA) through an accelerometer. Ten adolescent athletes with diabetes wore accelerometer continuous monitor (CGM) consecutively for a minimum 2 weeks. Physical analyzed according intensity indicating time...

HIV/AIDS and its treatment often alter body composition result in poorer physical functioning. The aim of this study was to determine the effects a moderate-intensity exercise program on hormones cytokines associated with adverse health outcomes.

While combination antiretroviral therapy has extended the life expectancy of those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there is a high prevalence comorbidities that increase risk cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among people living HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The side effects associated (ART) lead to multiple metabolic disorders, making management these issues disease (CVD) in treated ART critical issue. Clinical research trials, primarily clinical exercise, rarely include this...

&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; The purpose of this investigation was to test the feasibility a home-based moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA) program for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) currently taking antiretroviral therapy (ART).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; 68 participants recruited 9-month PA intervention aimed reduce risk factors cardiovascular disease PLWHA ART.

Studies would indicate a reduction in hemoglobin A1c levels following moderate and/or vigorous physical activity (PA) for people managing diabetes. However, prior investigations rarely looked at glucose variability an adolescent population. Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to test the relationship between intensity and sample adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, if amount time accumulated each level is predictive changes variability. Methods: Glucose determined using...

This investigation sought to determine the association of symptom distress with selected psychological factors in HIV-infected persons. Data from a randomized controlled trial were used; all subjects who completed baseline data collection included (N = 99). packets these questionnaires: Perceived Stress Scale, HIV-related Symptom Distress and Profile Mood State. Significant correlations final regression model. The total mood disturbance (including State subscales), self-rated current health,...

Aim The aim of this study is to analyze whether immune responses after strenuous exercise are influenced by chronological age and fitness level in physically active healthy men. Methods Cross-sectional with a sample 32 Participants were divided into two groups based on (younger: 21.8 ± 1.8 vs. older: 34.6 8.3) subsequently regrouped (More conditioned: excellent superior VO2max Less VO2max: weak, regular good). Fitness was classified according levels obtained treadmill test using gas...

Purpose: To determine associations between physical activity (PA) and sport participation on HbA1c levels in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Method: Pediatric patients T1D were invited to complete a PA survey. Data linked their medical records for demographic characteristics, treatment monitoring plans, levels. Results: Participants consisted of 71 females 81 males, 13 ± 3 years old an average level 8.75 1.81. Children accumulating 60 min days or more week had significantly lower...

Abstract While bones and muscles adapt to mechanical loading, it appears that very specific types of stimuli must be applied achieve osteogenesis. Our study assessed musculoskeletal outcomes 30 training sessions on an Inertial Exercise Trainer (Newnan, GA). Subjects (n=13) performed workouts with their left leg, while right served as untreated control. Workouts entailed three 60-s sets each knee extension, hip extension calf press exercises, separated by 90-s rests. Before after the...

INTRODUCTIONType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack insulin-producing cells and accounts for 5% of all cases (4,6,27). Formerly known as juvenile diabetes, T1DM can occur at any time in a person's lifetime, although diagnosis typically made before age 30 years. Although significant advancements have been better understand underlying factors, such genetic risk immunologic triggers, are still largely unknown (4). serious nature, advances...

FigureFigureFigureEngaging in regular physical activity improves health, reduces medical costs, and quality of life (1). The Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee (2), representing numerous public health professionals, researchers, leaders from private organizations, recently reviewed the latest research recommendations for released Americans,2nd edition (3). It is estimated that only 26% men 19% women meet minimal amounts activity, 150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic 2 days per...
