Can exercise improve sleep for people with HIV? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT04946994
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how two types of exercise—high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and continuous moderate exercise (CME)—affect sleep and inflammation in older adults with HIV. Fifty-two participants were assigned to one of the two exercise programs for 16 weeks. Researchers measured sleep quality through surveys and wrist devices, and checked blood for inflammation markers. The goal was to see if HIIT leads to better sleep and lower inflammation than moderate exercise.
