What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HOME-EXOther

    Motivational Counseling: The first session will be an hour face-to-face interview to establish a rapport with subjects, assess motives and competence. The rest will be 30 min. phone calls to assess week's performance and agree on an action plan for next 2 weeks.

    Exercise Intervention: Using the average number of steps for each subject from their baseline assessment, the targeted number of steps the subject needs to walk every day will be calculated. The individualized strength training exercise will target the upper and lower body. If possible, they will be encouraged to progressively increase from their individual baseline sets and repetitions to a maximum of 4 sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise

Study groups in NCT01984060
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HOME-EXOtherMotivational Counseling: Six patient-centered motivational counseling sessions based on the self-determination theory (SDT) of behavior change will be conducted with the patients in the HOME-EX group over 12 weeks. Exercise Intervention: an individually tailored home-based exercise program performed 5-7 days a week that consists of walking prescription, and individualized strength training exercise designed to provide moderately intense progressive resistance exercise. Subjects will be given a set of 3 color-coded therapeutic resistance bands representing varying levels of resistance and they will start with a number of sets which is customized for each individual and they will be encouraged to progressively increase from their individual baseline sets.
Receives: Other: HOME-EX
ControlNo interventionSubjects are instructed to maintain their usual activities during the study period. This group did not receive any PA counseling or recommendations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Feasibility

    To develop and establish the feasibility of home-exercise(HOME-EX)in HIV positive subjects as evaluated by measuring exercise adherence and acceptability, exercise intensity and adverse events. We hypothesize that HOME-EX is a feasible and safe intervention for HOA.

    Measured: At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Efficacy

    To determine the potential efficacy of HOME-EX in HIV positive adults in improving physical function as evaluated by the physical performance test (PPT). We hypothesize that physical function will improve in the HOME-EX group compared to the CONTROL group.

    Measured: At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.

  2. Change in Autonomy

    To determine the potential efficacy of HOME-EX in HIV positive on exercise-related psychological mediators as evaluated by the SDT-based questionnaires. We hypothesize that the HOME-EX group will report greater perceived autonomy support, more autonomous self-regulation, higher intrinsic motivation and perceived competence compared to the CONTROL group.

    Measured: At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Feasibility (time frame: At day zero of the study and after 12 weeks of intervension.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01984060, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
