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.
Sedentarism is a risk factor for depression and anxiety. People living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared to HIV-negative individuals. This cross-sectional study (= 450, median age 44 (19-75), 7.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between recreational exercise and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with HIV, analyzing data from 454 participants.
- Exercisers consistently reported higher HRQOL scores compared to non-exercisers, with those engaging in multiple types of exercise showing even greater benefits in terms of duration, frequency, and intensity.
- Psychological disorders emerged as a significant factor influencing this relationship, indicating that exercise duration and intensity may enhance HRQOL, especially for those with such disorders.
People living with HIV (PLWH) have limited exercise capacity because of anemia, neuromuscular disorders, and pulmonary limitations. We used a meta-analysis to examine the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise alone and in combination on cardiovascular parameters. Subgroup meta-analyses were conducted and long-term effects of exercise were investigated.

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.
