Physical exercise among patients with systemic autoimmune myopathies

Abstract: Systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAMs) are a heterogeneous group of rare systemic autoimmune diseases that primarily affect skeletal muscles. Patients with SAMs show progressive skeletal muscle weakness and consequent functional disabilities, low health quality, and sedentary lifestyles. In this context, exercise training emerges as a non-pharmacological therapy to improve muscle strength and function as well as the clinical aspects of these diseases. Because many have feared that physical exercise exacerbates … Show more

“…Importantly, no changes were observed in the clinical and laboratory parameters after exercise training, nor there were disease relapses or exercise-related adverse events. These findings further support the notion that exercise is well tolerable and safe for patients with SAM [14] [16] [17] [18] [35].…”

“…Patients with SAM have reduced muscle strength and functional capacity [14] [16] [17] [18] [35]. Previous studies have shown that exercise training has been effective in increasing muscle strength and improving function, which correlates with an increase in quality of life [18] [36].…”

“…These mechanisms play important roles in the prevention of and therapy for chronic low-grade inflammation. This particularly supports a role for exercise training as a nonpharmacological therapy to improve inflammatory status in patients with systemic autoimmune myopathies [63]. Therefore, physical activity could serve as an effective strategy against the development of inflammaging associated with an increased risk of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune disease.…”

Nader et al (NADER et al, 2010) ainda contribuíram do ponto de vista molecular, comprovando que o exercício físico é capaz de modular a expressão gênica relacionada à inflamação e fibrose, abrindo efetivamente caminho ao conceito de exercício físico como terapia.…”
