The exercise program didn't change levels of inflammation markers in older people with HIV compared to those who didn't exercise.

Scientific Claim

There were no significant differences in changes of inflammatory markers between the aerobic and resistance training group and the control group in older adults with HIV.

Original Statement

“There were no significant between-group differences in changes in inflammatory markers.”

From study:Randomized Clinical Trial of High Intensity Exercise in People with HIV: Effects on Muscle Composition and Inflammation.

Similar Assertions

Older adults with HIV who exercised for 16 weeks likely had denser thigh muscles (5.2% increase) compared to the control group (0.3% decrease), which was statistically significant.

78%

Older people with HIV who did aerobic and resistance exercise for 16 weeks probably had bigger thigh muscles (7.5% increase) compared to those who didn't (3.1% decrease), and this difference was statistically significant.

75%

Older people with HIV who did the exercise program for 16 weeks probably had much stronger legs (51.8% increase) compared to those who didn't (1.3% increase), and this difference was highly significant.
