Abstract
PINZON-RIOS, Iván Darío; ANGARITA-FONSECA, Adriana and CORREA-PEREZ, Edgar Alonso. Effects of Functional Training Program in Core Muscles in Women with Fibromyalgia. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.39-53. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revsalud13.01.2015.03.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a program of functional muscles core training targeting women with fibromyalgia. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental type trial was conducted, before and after an intervention, for 20 days, often three days/week, 60 minutes each session. In a single-group of eight women, changes in muscle strength, pain, quality of life related to health and physical activity were evaluated. Results: An increase in repetitions of the test trunk flexion, time on the left and right bridge testing lateral and prone bridge the test were found. All features of pain decreased, and, according to the S-FIQ, a decrease in morning fatigue, stiffness and anxiety was reported. Also Met's/minute-weeks increased after intervention. Conclusion: These data suggest that functional program core muscle training is effective in increasing muscle strength, pain modulation, functional performance optimization, and increased levels of physical activity in women with fibromyalgia.
