Body composition and laboratory values at baseline (BL) and week-12 (W12) in the walk group divided by gender. Values as expressed as median (Q1-Q3). W12 values were compared to BL values by the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. a. At BL, women had higher % fat in the arm (p = 0.015), leg (p = 0.034) and as total (p = 0.017), lower haemoglobin (p = 0.002) and creatinine levels (p = 0.008), and higher CD4 cell counts (p = 0.009) (Mann–Whitney test).
