The physical exercise is a tool that assists the treatment of various diseases because it improves from aspects of functional capacity (mobility, balance, muscle strength) to the risk factors for several diseases (obesity, Diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension). Among the many exercise types, the combined physical training has been considered a very interesting method due to responses generated in several populations, for instance, people living with HIV/AIDS.
