Aging & HIV Workshop 2020 Sept30-Oct 2 virtual
Reported by Jules Levin
A high intensity walking program reduced frailty and improved physical function among older PLWH well
beyond established minimally clinically important differences. However, more negative self-reported
affect during higher intensities of activities may limit adherence.
High intensity interval walking pilot study in partnership with physical therapists and infectious disease physicians.
11 patients with pre-frailty or frailty; received 2x/week walking sessions x 6 weeks with physical
therapist
5 minute intervals at >70% of HR maximum for 30 minutes; included fast walking, weighted walking,
stairs, step-ups, and multi-directional walking.
Measured heart rate, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and affect using The Feeling Scale during each interval.
