Strength training induced adaptations in neuromuscular function of premenopausal women with fibromyalgia: comparison with healthy women

Abstract: Results-Female FM T subjects increased their maximal and explosive strength and EMG activity to the same extent as the H T group. Moreover, the progressive strength training showed immediate benefits on subjectively perceived fatigue, depression, and neck pain of training patients with FM. Conclusions-The strength training data indicate comparable trainability of the neuromuscular system of women with FM and healthy women. Progressive strength training can safely be used in the treatment of FM to decrease the … Show more

“…changes. Other possible explanations are that they derive from more central effects [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], perhaps as a correction of a distorted ''body schema'' [4,14] or altered cortical representation of the back [22][23][24][25], from modification of motor control patterns as a consequence of a reweighting of sensory input [21], or simply from a positive therapistpatient interaction/relationship [26]. Several studies have reported a correlation between psychological status and low back pain or pain tolerance [15,58,[75][76][77][78].…”

“…It is conceivable that other changes elicited by exercise therapy, e.g. improvements in self-efficacy, coping strategies and fear-avoidance [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], modification of motor control patterns as a consequence of a re-weighting of sensory input [21], changes in cortical organisation [22][23][24][25] or simply a positive therapist-patient interaction/relationship [26] may be responsible for the improvements in selfreported pain and disability.…”

“…Poucos estudos, com amostra pequena sobre fortalecimento na FM, têm sido publicados e demonstraram que o treino de força promove maior melhora quando comparado com treino de flexibilidade (28)(29)(30) . Mais estudos comparando treino de força e alongamento são necessários, mas ambos são seguros e podem ser prescritos.…”

“…Desses, 12 avaliaram o condicionamento aeróbio (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) , 10 estudaram programas combinados ou associados ao tratamento medicamentoso ou outras intervenções não-farmacológicas (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) . Apenas três envolveram treino de força (28)(29)(30) . Exercícios de alongamento foram utilizados como intervenção-controle em muitos estudos (6,10,13,17,29,31) .…”

“…Em uma revisão de literatura recente, Hurley et al, (2011) corroboram com afirmativa de que a maioria dos estudos que utilizaram o treinamento resistido como tratamento da FM era de baixa qualidade. Por outro lado, autores de pelo menos 3 estudos discordam e afirmam que programas de treinamento resistido, executados corretamente, são seguros e podem ser recomendados para pacientes com FM (JONES et al, 2002;HAKKINEN et al, 2001;VALKEINEN et al, 2005). Devido à falta de informações sobre a modalidade ideal de treinamento e todos os problemas metodológicos já destacados, estudos que tragam informações adicionais sobre o treinamento físico em pacientes com FM devem ser realizados.…”
