Two independent reviewers (DV and BS) performed an electronic search of the health-related databases PubMed, CINAHL and Embase from database inception until April 1st 2016. Manual searches were also conducted using the reference lists from identified articles. The medical subject headings used were ‘physical activity’ OR ‘exercise’ OR ‘sports’ AND ‘HIV’ OR ‘AIDS’ in the title, abstract or index term fields. We did not include a search term referring to SSA or any country in the region but instead checked all the retrieved articles manually.
