Article Synopsis
- Exercise has positive effects in reducing the risk of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), particularly for individuals living with HIV (PLWH), who are often more sedentary.
- A study involving 446 German PLWH found that those who exercised regularly reported significantly fewer cases of heart arrhythmias and diabetes compared to sedentary individuals.
- The findings suggest that increasing exercise frequency and duration can lower CMD risks in this population, but more research is needed to understand the exact mechanisms at play.
Background: Several tests are available to assess the different components of physical fitness, including cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility. However, the reliability and validity of physical fitness tests in people with mental disorders has not been meta-analyzed.
Aims: To examine the reliability, concurrent, and convergent validity of physical fitness tests in people with mental disorders.
Background: Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects muscle mass, altering independent activities of people living with HIV (PLWH). Resistance training alone (RT) or combined with aerobic exercise (AE) is linked to improved muscle mass and strength maintenance in PLWH. These exercise benefits have been the focus of different meta-analyses, although only a limited number of studies have been identified up to the year 2013/4.
