Supervised Treadmill intervention to Reduce Inflammation and Depression through Exercise in HIV: The STRIDE Pilot Study
REFNo: HS3358ES
The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an aerobic intervention via a treadmill among individuals with HIV and depression in Uganda.
3.1 Primary Endpoint: Feasibility and acceptability of Exercise as a treatment for depression in Ugandans with HIV. This will be measured by:
-Percent completion of the prescribed aerobic exercise intervention, as assessed by research staff logging participation.
3.2 Secondary Endpoint(s)/ Outcome(s):
- acceptability of the intervention assessed via a post intervention survey
-feasibility and acceptability of using a wearable exercise tracker to assess the volume of exercise, based on calories burned and steps achieved, during the intervention period among Ugandans with HIV and depression.
- measure the mean and standard deviation of baseline and 8-week serum BDNF and IL-6 level to estimate an effect size and power a future study.
- measure the mean and standard deviation of baseline and 8-week depression score via PHQ-9 to estimate an effect size and power a future study.
- measure the mean and standard deviation in aerobic fitness baseline and at 8 weeks measured via METS/watts achieved and total time/distance to estimate the effect size for a future intervention.
