Official Title: Relationship Between Neuromuscular Fatigue, Perceived Tiredness and Level Of Physical Activity of Patients Living With HIV
Brief Summary:
Fatigue is a common symptom in people living with HIV (PHAs) that affects all aspects of life . This would include physical deconditioning, a reduction in motor skills . Numerous studies show that physical activity brings benefits for the quality of life of PHAs . However, due to the predominantly reported fatigue, many PHAs are not physically active enough in relation to these recommendations. While it is recognized that fatigue is predominant in PHAs, this complaint has mainly been subjectively quantified and has rarely been physically objectified a better understanding of the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue and the level of physical activity of PHAs is needed in line with current work on integrating fatigue.
OBJECTIVES This project, based on an integrative (eg, neurophysiological and psychological) approach to fatigue, aims to better explain and prevent the vicious circle of physical deconditioning in PHAs by examining the relationships between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue, Physical activity of patients.
The main objective of the study will be to compare the characteristics of neuromuscular fatigue in physically active or inactive PHAs.
The secondary objective will be to examine the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, level of physical activity and perceived physical fatigue of PHAs.
CONDUCT OF THE STUDY Cross-sectional comparative study without individual benefit for the patient. Monocentric test to quantify and relate neuromuscular fatigue, perceived physical fatigue, and physical activity level. The main inclusion criteria for this study are: PLHIV aged between 40 and 60; Diagnosed and treated with antivirals after 1996, irrespective of the value of the viral load and C
