Brief Summary

To analyze the effectiveness of 16-week resistance exercise in daily motor behavior and functional fitness in women with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. The present study presents as hypothesis that a supervised resistance exercise program is effective and safe in improving the functional fitness and quality of life of patients with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome, making them more physically active, contributing positively to the capacity to perform daily life activities as household and / or professional tasks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in functional fitness

    The protocol consists of a sequence of 7 tests that aim to mimic the neuromotor and cardiorespiratory needs involved in the daily life activities. This battrey test was designed and validated to evaluate the elderly without a ceiling effect, ensuring that the physical aspect measured represents the maximum of the individual. The physiological components evaluated, based on the physical abilities performed in the daily activities are: upper and lower limb strength, aerobic capacity, upper and lower limb flexibility, as well as motor agility / dynamic balance. In addition, the authors added the body mass index (BMI), to estimate the body composition.

    The subjects were assessed in 2 moments: before entering the resistance training program and after 16 weeks of intervention.

  • Change in daily motor activity index

    To verify the daily movement index of the subjects we used a device called an actigraphy or actimeter.

    The subjects were assessed for 15 consecutive days belonging to the habitual routine of the volunteers. It was used in 2 moments: before entering the resistance training program and after 16 weeks of intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Quality of life estimate

    The subjects were assessed in 2 moments: before entering the resistance training program and after 16 weeks of intervention.

  • Estimates of disease activity

    The subjects were assessed in 2 moments: before entering the resistance training program and after 16 weeks of intervention.

Study Arms (2)

Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Volunteers underwent a supervised resistance exercise program for 16 weeks. The subjects performed 10 exercises with 3 sets of 10 maximum repetitions in each. The training sessions were held twice a week.

Other: Exercise

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Volunteers in this group were instructed not to perform systematic physical exercises for 16 weeks (the same period of the GEX group training program), and only the SSP medication treatment was maintained, and they were followed up during the study period.

Interventions

The following muscular clusters were exerted: latissimus dorsi, deltoid, pectoralis major , triceps brachialis, biceps brachialis, quadriceps, hamstring, thigh adductor muscles, thigh abductor muscles and gastrocnemius.

An opaque envelope containing the group allocation was given to the volunteer by the blind evaluator. After randomization, the sequential numbers were kept in opaque and closed envelopes and, as patients passed the initial evaluations, were allocated to one of the groups.
