Moderate aerobic exercise (brisk walking) increases bone density in cART‐treated persons

Moderate intensity aerobic activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the general population and has a potential in preventing bone loss. We evaluated the effects of brisk walking, with or without strength exercise, on bone mineral density in HIV‐infected...

Summary:Moderate intensity aerobic activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the general population and has a potential in preventing bone loss. We evaluated the effects of brisk walking, with or without strength exercise, on bone mineral density in HIV‐infected treated persons. Twenty‐eight HIV‐infected, cART‐treated, sedentary subjects with VL
