Background
- People with HIV live longer and may experience physical, cognitive,
social and psychological health-related challenges of HIV, multi-morbidity and aging.
- Rehabilitation can assist in managing the health challenges (or disability)
associated with HIV, and complex multi-morbidity.
- However, few accessing formalized rehabilitation services (HIV
Health and Rehabilitation Survey, 2016)
- Exercise is one rehabilitation intervention and living strategy that can be
used to mitigate health challenges and enhance health and promotion.
Purpose
To assess the effectiveness of aerobic (AER) and/or progressive resistive exercise (PRE) on…
- Immunological and virological
- Cardiopulmonary
- Weight and body composition
- Strength and
- Psychological outcomes
among adults living with HIV
Methods – 2 systematic reviews
Study Design
- Systematic review using Cochrane Collaboration protocol.
Inclusion Criteria
- Randomized controlled trials comparing exercise with another intervention
- Adults (18 years of age or older) living with HIV
- Exercise at least 3 times per week for at least 4 weeks
Study Selection
- Electronic Databases (updates from 2009-2013)
- Abstract review - 2 independent reviewers
Data Extraction and Analysis
- Data extraction
- Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment – GRADE rating
- Meta-analyses using random effects model & RevMan software

Results – Characteristics of Included Studies
14 studies overlap (PRE+AER; or PRE versus AER versus no exercise)
CD4 count (AER review)
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
No significant difference in change in CD4 count
- Non-significant trend here towards increase in CD4 count among exercisers
compared with non-exercisers (n=479; n=14 studies).
Viral load (AER review)
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
No significant difference in change in viral load between groups (n=162)
Cardiopulmonary Fitness: VO2max (AER)
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
Statistically significant (and potential clinically important) increase (improvement) in maximum oxygen capacity (VO2max) of 2.87 ml/kg/min (95% CI: 1.69, 4.04, n=358) for exercisers compared with non-exercisers.
Cardiopulmonary Fitness: Exercise Time
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
Statistically significant increase (improvement) in exercise time of 2.66 min (95% CI: 0.12, 5.19, n=129) for exercisers compared with non-exercisers.
Weight (PRE review)
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
Statistically significant increase in body weight of 2.50 kg (95% CI: 0.32, 4.67, n=129) for exercisers compared with non-exercisers. Assuming increase in body weight is favourable outcome; Potential for increase in muscle mass with PRE Greater increases with PRE versus no exercise (4.24 kg; 95% CI: 1.82, 6.66)
Body composition
PRE versus no exercise (PRE review)
Statistically significant increase in arm and thigh girth of 7.91 cm (95% CI: 2.18, 13.65, n=46) for exercisers compared with non-exercisers.
PRE+AER versus no exercise (AER review)
Statistically significant increase in leg muscle area of 4.79 cm2 (95% CI: 2.04, 7.54, n=60) for exercisers compared with non-exercisers.
Body composition - % body fat (AER)
Constant aerobic versus no exercise
Statistically significant greater decrease in % body fat of 1.12% (95% CI:-2.18, -0.07, n=119) among exercisers compared with non- exercisers.
Strength: upper and lower body (PRE)
PRE versus Aerobic exercise
Statistically significant greater increase in upper body strength (combined 1RM or 3RM) of 14.56 kg (95% CI: 10.63, 18.49, n=41) and lower extremity strength 23.09 kg (95% CI: 13.01, 33.18) among PRE exercisers compared with AER exercisers.
Quality of life: SF36 questionnaire (AER)
Aerobic (or AER+PRE) versus No Exercise
Domain Weighted Mean Difference (WMD) (95% CI) General Health 4.73 (3.13, 9.75) Mental Health 11.58 (1.35, 21.81) Role Physical 6.56 (3.17, 9.96) Role Emotional 10.95 (8.19, 13.71) Pain
- 6.59 (-9.83, -3.36)
Physical Function 16.30 (6.89, 25.72) Energy / Vitality 5.03 (1.33, 8.72) Social Function 2.73 (-4.84, 10.30)
Statistically significant improvement on 6 out of 8 SF36 domain QOL sub- scales for exercisers compared with non-exercisers (n=59; 2 studies).
Clinically Important Improvement
Methodological Quality - Risk of Bias
Conclusions
Exercising at least 3X per week for at least 5 weeks is safe and can lead to improvements in….
- Cardiopulmonary Fitness
- VO2max*, exercise time
- Body Composition
- Decrease in % body fat
- Increases in weight*, arm and thigh girth*, leg muscle area among
exercisers
- Strength
- Increase in upper and lower body strength among exercisers (greater
increases among PRE versus AER)*
- Quality of Life*
What about CD4 count and Viral Load?
- Despite trend towards improvement in CD4 count for some meta-analyses,
majority continue to be non-significant
Considerations
Methodological Quality
- High risk of…
- performance bias (inability to blind participants to exercise)
- Withdrawal bias (results based on participants who completed
the exercise) Majority of included studies…
- Men, 30-49 years of age, little multi-morbidity
- Resource rich countries
- Highly supervised exercise by highly trained personnel
- Trend towards combined AER and PRE interventions
- Highly supervised settings by highly trained personnel
- Sustainability in real world community setting over long term less clear.
