Case presentation A 31-year-old Latin-American Caucasian woman infected with human immunodeficiency virus participated in a 12-week progressive resistance exercise training program with an aerobic component. Her weight height skinfold thickness body circumferences femur and humerus diameter blood lipid profile maximal oxygen uptake volume exercise duration strength and quality of life were assessed pre-exercise and post-exercise training. After 12 weeks she exhibited reductions in her total subcutaneous fat central subcutaneous fat peripheral subcutaneous fat waist circumference WC triglycerides total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol .
