Abstract

Objective

The objective of this descriptive study was to analyze the relationship between strength exercises and hematological, virological and anthropometric parameters.

Method

A total of 40 people living with HIV/AIDS from both genders, aged between 20 to 50 years old, and residents in the city of Mossoró-RN (Brazil) were analyzed. All of them were evaluated before and after being subjected to a program of resisted exercises. The data were analyzed with the SPSS program version 20.0 in Portuguese.

Results

A significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed in the fat percentage, urea, and hemoglobin.

Conclusions

It was concluded that by participating in a program of resisted exercises, people living with HIV/AIDS achieved improved hematological and virological parameters and anthropometric profile.
