Biochemical parameters and blood lactate kinetics of HIV+ individuals subject to combined physical training

Abstract

The aim of the study was to verify the blood lactate kinetics (BLK) and the response to combined physical training (CPT) as well as to evaluate the effects on markers related to biochemical, immunological, cardiorespiratory and body composition in HIV + people. Twelve HIV+ volunteers performed CPT during 16 weeks, and were subjected to evaluations in 3 moments: pre, 8 and 16 weeks of CPT. At the end, there was improvement in immune and cardiorespiratory parameters, muscular strength and of glycemic and lipid profiles. Concerning BLK, the concentrations were increased after the CPT. We conclude that CPT improved the measured variables, nevertheless, the issue related to the BLK requires further studies in order to clarify this occurrence.
