Effects of Moderate Intensity Circuit Exercise Programme on the Blood Oxygen Saturation and Pulmonary Function of People Living With HIV

Introduction: Impaired pulmonary function and arterial oxygen (O2) saturation are among the symptomatic changes in people living with HIV (PLWH), associated progression of disease anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Exercise has been considered an important adjuvant for health promotion improving PLWH. However studies lacking on effects circuit exercise training o2 Objective: This study determined effect moderate intensity programme O2 Methods: The design was a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design. A total 120 participants were recruited from clinic teaching hospital. Fish bowl method used to randomize control group or group. Moderate (50 – 75% MHR) administered 3 times week between 30-60 minutes per session 8 weeks. Pulse Oximeter hand held spirometer measure some functions respectively. Measurement taken at baseline 8-week. Descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation percentages summarize demographic data. Paired sample t-test Independent mean difference within groups Alpha level set P<0.05. Results: There significant score after 8-week intervention. Conclusion: An brought about improvement Circuit can be effectively employed improve lung ameliorate hypoxemia decreased
