Summary
This trial will study if exercise can help people 50+ living with HIV who have suboptimal cognition. 60 participants in Alabama will be monitored over 3 months to measure the effects of exercise.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 50 living with HIV who have cognitive challenges and a sedentary lifestyle. They must be on HIV treatment without old drugs known to harm mitochondria, speak English, and not engage in moderate exercise more than 150 minutes per week. Exclusions include severe heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension, kidney or mitochondrial diseases, active substance abuse, orthopedic limitations to exercise, other trials' participation, or needing oxygen for lung issues.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of exercises: high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus continuous moderate exercise to see which better improves blood vessel health and brain function in older adults with HIV after 12 weeks. It also explores participants' barriers to exercising and their views on the interventions.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for these exercises, general risks may include muscle soreness, fatigue during or after workouts, joint pain due to physical activity intensity increase especially if previously sedentary.
