Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise and progressive resistance plus megestrol acetate on lean body mass of patients with human immunodeficiency virus-related weight loss HIV-wasting

II Evaluate whether exercise acutely alters immune function III Evaluate whether long-term exercise improves immunocompetence IV Evaluate the accuracy of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance spectral analysis in measuring body composition

V Assess the impact of these therapies on quality of life VI Evaluate the effect of these therapies on the balance of energy intake and energy expenditure
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 therapy groups megestrol acetate alone exercise plus megestrol acetate or exercise plus placebo Therapy continues for 12 weeks

A single dose of oral megestrol acetate or placebo is administered each morning

The exercise program consists of aerobic exercise and resistance training performed 3 times a week under supervision Hard aerobic exercise is performed for 45 minutes plus a warm-up and cool-down period the patient chooses to work on 3 of 5 pieces of exercise equipment Exercise intensity is adjusted to a heart rate corresponding to 65 of maximal oxygen consumption

Resistance training is done on a universal gym exercises are designed to work all 6 major muscle groups Each exercise is performed at 70 of maximal single repetition resistance Resistance is increased 5 when the patient can perform 15 repetitions without failure
