FitBrain: Healing Hearts and Mending Minds in Older Adults Living With HIV
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if exercise is helpful for improving memory, concentration thinking abilities, physical function, and quality of life for adults aged 50 to 89 years living with HIV and who have two or more cardiovascular disease risk factors. The study will test two kinds of intervention exercises: one group will walk for exercise and the second group will stretch for exercise. Members of both interventions will be asked to participate in one-on-one interviews/assessments, measures of physical functioning, and some sessions with others who are also enrolled in the study.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Let's Move Program Participants in this group will be asked to walk five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of 30 minutes in their home while wearing a heart rate monitor and a pedometer. Participants will then enter a maintenance exercise period for 65 weeks. |
Behavioral: Let's Move Program
Participants will be asked to walk five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of 30 minutes while wearing a heart rate monitor and a pedometer. Participants will also receive weekly telephone calls from a member of the research team to monitor walking progress and to change walking duration or intensity level based on their progress.After the twelve week period, participants will enter a maintenance exercise phase for weeks 13-17 in which they will be asked to maintain their exercise regimen.
Behavioral: Group Motivational Interviewing
Participants will attend four separate group intervention sessions for 2.5 hours for four consecutive weeks at the beginning of the program. Groups will consist of 6-8 members and will focus on the rationale for aerobic exercise, barriers to exercise, finding time for exercise, how to set short and long term exercise goals, and use of self-monitoring to improve exercise engagement.

Arm/Group Title | Let's Move Program | Let's Flex Program | ||
Arm/Group Description | Participants in this group will be asked to walk five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of 30 minutes in their home while wearing a heart rate monitor and a pedometer. Participants will then enter a maintenance exercise period for 65 weeks. Let's Move Program: Participants will be asked to walk five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of 30 minutes while wearing a heart rate monitor and a pedometer. Participants will also receive weekly telephone calls from a member of the research team to monitor walking progress and to change walking duration or intensity level based on their progress.After the twelve week period, participants will enter a maintenance exercise phase for weeks 13-17 in which they will be asked to maintain their exercise regimen. Group Motivational Interviewing: Participants will attend four separate group intervention sessions for 2.5 hours for four consecutive weeks at the beginning of the program. Groups will consist of 6-8 members and will focus on the rationale for aerobic exercise, barriers to exercise, finding time for exercise, how to set short and long term exercise goals, and use of self-monitoring to improve exercise engagement. | Participants in this group will be asked to stretch five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of thirty minutes in their home. Participants will then enter a maintenance exercise period for 65 weeks. Let's Flex Program: Participants will be asked to stretch five times per week for twelve weeks for a minimum of 30 minutes.
