Introduction Vibratory exercises are increasingly used in sport training and physical rehabilitation. This study aims to determine the comparative effects of two vibratory frequencies on the neuromuscular leg function in healthy young active females. Methods Twenty-four women (aged 21.9 ± 2.6 years; weight 59.9 ± 7.1 kg) were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 8 subjects: group 25 Hz (G25), group 30Hz (G30), an...
La fibromialgia (FM) es una patología crónica de etiología desconocida que causa dolor generalizado y fatiga; acompañado a menudo de rigidez, sueño no reparador y ansiedad. Estos síntomas hacen que los pacientes con FM tengan una calidad de vida reducida en actividades cotidianas y laborales. Para paliar los síntomas de la FM, además del tratamiento farmacológico clásico centrado en analgésicos, antidepresivos ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether changes in muscle strength due to 32 weeks of supervised aquatic training predicted improvements on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). METHODS: Thirty women with FM aged 50.8 +/- 8.7 years were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 15), performing 3 weekly sessions of 60 min of warm-water exercise; or to a control group (n = 15). HRQOL was evaluated using the Short...
In this study, we compared the efficacy of 8 months of low-frequency vibration and a walk-based program in health-related fitness. Twenty-seven postmenopausal women were randomly assigned into two groups: whole-body vibration (WBV) group (n = 18) performed three times/week a static exercise on a vibration platform (6 sets of 1-min with 1 min of rest, with a 12.6 Hz of frequency and an amplitude of 3 mm); walk-b...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of 8 months of supervised exercise therapy in warm water and its effects on the impact of fibromyalgia on physical and mental health and physical fitness in affected women. METHODS: Thirty women with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to an exercise therapy group (n = 15) or a control group (inactive) (n = 15). The impact of fibromyalgia on physical and mental health was...
INTRODUCTION: Physical therapy in warm water has been effective and highly recommended for persons with fibromyalgia, but its efficiency remains largely unknown. Should patients or health care managers invest in this therapy? The aim of the current study was to assess the cost-utility of adding an aquatic exercise programme to the usual care of women with fibromyalgia. METHODS: Costs to the health care system ...
A major problem associated with advanced adult age is the remarkable decline in functional capacity and the associated loss of independence (1). Muscle strength of the lower extremities is a major neuromuscular determinant of these losses and mobility (2). Vibration exercise is a new method of training with ameliorations on bone (3), balance (4), strength of lower extremities (5, 6) and neuromuscular performan...
Introduction: The fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic disorder characterised by generalised pain, muscle stiffness, reduced physical condition and fatigue that limit their daily life activities. Little knowledge is available on the feasibility and effects of long-lasting physical training in warm water on major physical abilities related with everyday life in patients with FM. The aim of the present study was to...
Introducción: Los pacientes con fibromialgia (FM) muestran dolor, rigidez muscular, condición física reducida y fatiga que limitan sus actividades de la vida diaria. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de la adición al tratamiento médico clásico de 12 semanas de ejercicio físico en agua caliente en el impacto de la FM en la salud física y mental de mujeres afectadas. Pacientes, material y métod...
Introducción y objetivos: El síntoma más frecuente y ca- racterístico de la fibromialgia es el dolor generalizado y difuso. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de 12 se- manas de entrenamiento en agua caliente y posterior desen- trenamiento sobre la percepción e intensidad de dolor y nú- mero de puntos sensibles al dolor de mujeres con fibromialgia. Métodos: Treinta y cinco pacientes fueron dis...
