Effect of progressive resistance exercise on strength evolution of elderly patients living with HIV compared to healthy controls

Abstract: OBJECTIVES:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection worsens the frailty of elderly people, compromising their quality of life. In this study we prospectively evaluated eleven patients living with HIV and 21 controls older than 60 years and without prior regular physical activity, who engaged in a one-year progressive resistance exercise program to compare its effects on muscular strength, physical fitness and body composition.METHODS:Exercises for major muscular groups were performed 2 times/week, under pr… Show more

“…Besides aiming to reduce body weight, particularly central fat weight, the main goal of the participants was to improve appearance, and to look good, healthy and strong. In that sense, their goals were in line with the recommendations of the stateof-the-art, which are to combine aerobic and progressive resistance training (O'Brien et al 2004, Robinson et al 2007, Hand et al 2009, Lazzarotto et al 2010, O'Brien et al 2010, Souza et al 2011, Yahiaoui et al 2011). …”

“…Those receiving the intervention (N = 11) increased weight lifted compared to controls (N = 21) (p < 0.01) and were faster at sit-to-stand after training (p = 0.005) [36]. …”

“…Estes resultados são consistentes com os estudos de Lindegaard et al (2008), Sakkas et al (2009), Souza et al (2008, Souza et al (2011). O aumento da força muscular é extremamente importante para o metabolismo corporal de HIV soropositivos, uma vez que é diretamente associado ao aumento da taxa metabólica basal e do catabolismo de lipídios na região abdominal (ORMSBEE et al, 2007).…”

“…Ademais, revisão de literatura tem sugerido limitações como ausência de grupocontrole (ROBINSON et al, 2007;SOUZA et al, 2008), amostras pequenas (RØGE et al, 2002;ROBINSON et al, 2007;SOUZA et al, 2008) e reduzido período de intervenção (LINDEGAARD et al, 2008;SAKKAS et al, 2009). O TR, por sua vez, pode ser usado para evitar a perda da massa magra e a perda funcional do músculo, uma vez que um dos efeitos crônicos clássicos do TR, importante para esta população, é o aumento da força (MENDES et al, 2011), oriundo tanto pelo aumento da área transversa muscular (DOLAN et al, 2006), quanto pela melhora da eficiência muscular (DOLAN et al, 2006;MENDES et al, 2011;SOUZA et al, 2011). Diante do exposto, o presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar o efeito de 24 semanas de TR em medidas antropométricas, força e hipertrofia muscular de pacientes soropositivos com avaliação dos hábitos alimentares e a prescrição dietética realizada por nutricionista.…”
