Aerobic-training effects on CD4 cell count and health related quality of life of people living with human immunodeficiency virus
This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of aerobic training against baseline data of People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH) Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) cell count, and Health-Related Quality of life (HRQoL) (Physical-health Component Summary (PCS) and Mental-health Compone...

| description | This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of aerobic training against baseline data of People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH) Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) cell count, and Health-Related Quality of life (HRQoL) (Physical-health Component Summary (PCS) and Mental-health Component Summary (MCS)). A within-subject quasi-experimental multimethod design was used. There was purposive sampling of participants on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) under Botswana Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (BONEPWA). The 28 participants (23 females and 5 males) who met the inclusion criteria were of age 18 to 45. After 6 weeks, one female dropped out of the study. Participants were subjected to 12 weeks of aerobic training, three times a week for 60 minutes per session. The significant differences between CD4 cell count and the HRQoL variables at baseline and week 12 of the participants were compared using the paired t-test. All analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 software. The alpha value was set at p0.05) improvements in CD4 count and PCS measures after intervention. PLWH can be advised to engage in regular aerobic training 3 times a week for 60 minutes especially when on HAART. The research is relatively preliminary; therefore, there could be some replication of the study by other researchers. |
