Strength and aerobic training in individuals with fibromyalgia: systematic review
Abstract
Introduction: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FS) is characterized by chronic pain in a diffuse manner, symptoms are relevant, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, psychological distress. The etiology of this syndrome is not confirmed in the literature however it is highlighted that the lack of physical conditioning contributes to the FS. There are positive effects of physical exercise in the treatment of this syndrome, but physical training planning must be individualized. Objective. To analyze the effects of strength and aerobic exercise in individuals with fibromyalgia. Materials and Methods. Systematic review following the PICO strategy. The search for data occurred in the Scielo and Pubmed databases using the keywords exercise, fibromyalgia, pain. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies were selected for analysis. Results: The seven studies evaluated identified benefits for both aerobic training, as for strength training, the low-impact aerobic and strength training with a 40% prescription of 1RM, as the most recommended for this audience. Starting from this point, the prescription must be individually. Conclusion. Strength and aerobic exercise proves to be a beneficial non-medication in the treatment of fibromyalgia, decreasing your symptoms in general, such as diffuse pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, cognitive changes in mood and generally improving the quality of life of people with this syndrome.
