Improvements of muscle strength predicted benefits in HRQOL and postural balanc...
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, Narcis; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Raimundo, Armando; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoOBJECTIVE: 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...

Häkkinen, Arja; Kukka, Anna; Onatsu, Tanja; Järvenpää, Salme; Heinonen, Ari; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Kallinen, MauriPurpose. The aim of this study was to compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of persons at risk for type 2 85 diabetes to that of the Finnish general population. In addition, the associations between physical activity and HRQOL at-risk persons were studied. Methods. One hundred thirty-two at-risk persons were recruited from health care centres in Central Finland. Participants filled out questionnair...

Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, Narcis; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Leal, Alejo; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoOBJECTIVE: 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...
Effects of 8 months of exercise therapy in warm water for fibromyalgia on physi...
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, Narcis; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Leal, Alejo; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoIntroduction: 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...
Aquatic training and detraining on fitness and quality of life in fibromyalgia
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Häkkinen, Arja; Gusi, Narcis; Leal, Alejo; Häkkinen, Keijo; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoPURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of a 12-wk period of aquatic training and subsequent detraining on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical fitness in females with fibromyalgia. METHODS: Thirty-four females with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned into two groups: an exercise group, who exercised for 60 min in warm water, three times a week (N = 17); and a control group, who continued their habitua...
Long-lasting aquatic exercise therapy improves health-related quality of life a...
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, Narcis; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Raimundo, Armando; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoIntroduction: Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) present muscle pain, weakness and fatigue that may eventually lead to reduced physical activity and decreased health-related quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of 8 months of supervised exercise therapy in warm water on health-related quality of life and muscle strength in women with fibromyalgia. Methods: Thirty women with...
Exercise in waist-high warm water decreases pain and improves health-related qu...
Gusi, Narcis; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy of exercise therapy in a warm, waist-high pool in women with fibromyalgia. METHODS: Thirty-four women (mean +/- SD tender points 17 +/- 1) were randomly assigned to either an exercise group (n = 17) to perform 3 weekly sessions of training including aerobic, proprioceptive, and strengthening exercises during 12 weeks, or to a control group (n = 17).
