Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pittsburgh sleep quality index

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, where a lower score (0-21), better sleep quality. Follows a continuous metric scale.

    At the beginning, every two weeks up to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Epworth sleepiness scale

    At the beginning, every two weeks up to 12 weeks

  • Sleep scale (medical outcomes study)

    At the beginning, every two weeks up to 12 weeks

  • Visual analog scale

    At the beginning, every two weeks up to 12 weeks

  • Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire

    At the beginning, every two weeks up to 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Aerobic physical exercise protocol of moderate intensity, for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week, about 12 minutes. Physical activity chosen will be pedaling on a static bike.

Procedure: Physical Exercise

Muscle Stretching

EXPERIMENTAL

Stretching program on the main muscle groups of the body, for 12 weeks, 1sessions per week, about 45 minutes.

Procedure: Muscle StretchingProcedure: Physical Exercise

Interventions

Subjects completed one stretching session on the main muscle groups of the body weekly.

Muscle Stretching

Subjects completed 3 moderate intensity aerobic physical exercise sessions weekly.
