Abstract
Traditional exercise regimens are based on maintaining a prolonged increase in heart rate, followed by a single recovery period. The cyclic exercise protocol is a novel protocol that is designed to create a series of parabolic waves of exercise and recovery. It is a known fact that the magnitude of the ultradians and the heart rate variability are reduced in people having diseases. Ultradians are the waves that occur every one and half-hours in a 24-hour circadian rhythm. By implementing this cyclic exercise protocol on people having AIDS, an increase in the slope base parameter, is seen. This parameter is of considerable importance because, it directly reflects on the magnitude of the ultradians and therefore also on the magnitude of the circadian rhythm.
