The aim of this study was verify effects of resistance training in cognitive function, body composition and biochemical parameters of inflammation and oxidative stress in people living with HIV/AIDS. The sample was composed by patients with HIV/AIDS of both sexes. The patients were randomized in two groups, a exercise group (EG), which was receive intervention with eight weeks of resistance training, and a control group (CG), that was not to do exercise. The cognitive function was analyzed with Stroop Test and Trail Test; body composition was evaluated by bioimpedance; blood tests was use to analyze biochemical parameters of inflammation and oxidative stress. For statistical analysis was used ANOVA of two factors for repeated measurements, having the (EG and PG) group and the time (pre and post exercise). Level of significance adopted was P < 0,05.
The aim of this study will be to verify effects of resistance training in people living with HIV/AIDS.
