Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the effects of a 6-week telerehabilitation on the three domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in HIV-infected patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HIV-infected patients were randomized either into an Endurance and Resistance Training Exercise (ERTE) group or a control (CON) group. Telerehabilitation was realized in a public fitness center, with online guidance and weekly telephone advice, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Feasibility was determined by recruitment rate, retention rate and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were impact on body composition, inflammation and coagulation (C-reactive protein, D-dimer), physical fitness and quality of life (WHOQOL-HIV).
