Summary

The effects of exercise for older HIV-infected adults have not been well studied, especially in Chinese population. This study aimed to investigate the effect of supervised exercise on physical health and quality of life among older people living with HIV (PLWH) in Hong Kong.

HIV-infected adults were recruited from a community-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) for HIV patient services. Participants were randomized into exercise group or control group. The participants in exercise group performed an 8-week moderate intensity supervised exercise program. In the control group, participants were not given any supervised exercises. They were advised to continue their routine daily activities and self exercises.

Outcomes were measured for both groups at baseline and after 8 weeks. Primary outcomes: grip strength, 30 seconds chair stand, 6 minutes-walk test and Short Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36). Secondary outcome: Subjective improvement

At the end of the program, all participants from exercise group were interviewed individually by principle investigator to allow feedbacks.
