简要总结
Exploring the effect of aerobic exercises on lung function, chest movement, and exercise capacity in women suffering from fibromyalgia.
详细描述
Eighty women with fibromyalgia will be equally randomly assigned to the experimental (EX) group and the control group (CON). The participants' age will be between 30 and 40 years and they will have mild restrictive lung affection. The Ex group will attend 3 sessions/week of aerobic training at moderate intensity combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercises for 12 weeks, the CON will only attend 3 sessions/week of diaphragmatic breathing exercises for 12 weeks. The lung functions will be assessed by the spirometry testing. The chest expansion will be determined using a tape measurement. Additionally, exercise capacity will be tested using cardiopulmonary exercise testing protocol. All the outcomes will be examined at baseline, and after 12 weeks of the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Lung function
时间窗: At baseline and 12 weeks
Ventilatory function parameters, including forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second will be measured by experienced technicians at baseline and after 12 weeks in all groups using the Medgraphics pulmonary function testing system (Breezesuite Ultima PFX, Milano, Italy) in strict adherence to the guidelines outlined in the user manual.
次要结局
- Chest expansion(At baseline and 12 weeks)
- Exercise capacity(At baseline and 12 weeks)
