- Detailed Description
Objective: To demonstrate the most effective exercise intervention for women with fibromyalgia syndrome on the pain, quality of life, depression, and body composition through a comparative study of three types of exercise intervention.
Methods: Eighty-four patients women with fibromyalgia syndrome were assigned to three groups: supervised aerobic plus stretching exercises group (group I, n:28), supervised resistance plus stretching exercises group (group II, n:28) and home-based stretching exercises group (group III, n:28). The target heart rate (HR) corresponding to values of 50-70 % ergospirometric VO2max were determined by the submaximal treadmill test. Group I was instructed walking at their target HR on a treadmill. Exercise intensity in group II was determined by one-repetition maximum (1RM) measurements. Group III was instructed to exercise at home. All participants were instructed to perform stretching exercises. Before and after a 12-week exercise program, participants were evaluated by weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), total body fat and muscle percentage, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Short Form-36 (SF-36) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)

Group Intervention Description Supervised Aerobic Plus Stretching Exercises Group Supervised Aerobic Plus Stretching Exercises The participants were instructed to perform the walking exercise at their target HR on a treadmill and stretching exercises before and after the exercise program in the Sports Rehabilitation Unit of Pamukkale University. Home-based Stretching Exercises Group Home-based Stretching Exercises Group The participants were instructed to perform the stretching exercises at home. Supervised Resistance Plus Stretching Exercises Group Supervised Resistance Plus Stretching Exercises Group The participants were instructed to perform resistance exercises using weight machines and stretching exercises before and after the exercise program in the Sports Rehabilitation Unit of Pamukkale University.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in analogue scale (VAS) score at week 12 Week 12 Pain intensity was measured with VAS for pain (0-10 cm; 0: no pain, 10: severe pain).
Change from baseline in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) score at week 12 Week 12 The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire was designed to measure the health status of patients with fibromyalgia. Total score range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of symptoms and severity.
Change from baseline Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score (0-63) at week 12 Week 12 This is a 21-item questionnaire that investigates the symptoms of depression. Total score range from 0 to 63, higher scores indicate higher levels of depression.
Change from baseline in Short Form 36 (SF-36) score at week 12. Week 12 Short- form health survey 36 contains 36 items which are used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. It measures eight different domains that address physical functioning, physical role limitation, body pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role limitation and mental health. The score of each domain ranges from 0 (worse quality of life) to 100 (best quality of life).
Change from baseline in weight (kilograms) at week 12. Week 12 Weight was measured with body composition analyzer (Tanita MC580).
Change from baseline in body mass index (BMI) at week 12 Week 12 Height was measured with stadiometer and BMI was calculated with body composition analyzer (Tanita MC580).
Change from baseline in total body fat percentage at week 12 Week 12 Total body fat percentage was measured with body composition analyzer (Tanita MC580).
Change from baseline in in total body muscle percentage at week 12. Week 12 Total body muscle percentage was measured with body composition analyzer (Tanita MC580).
Change from baseline in blood lactate concentration at rest (mmol/L) at week 12 Week 12 Finger-stick capillary whole blood was collected at rest. Blood lactate concentration was performed using a lactate analyzer (Lactate Scout Plus)
