Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is verify the effects of a 16 sessions of a web based resistance training, on balance, neuromuscular performance and symptomatology of fibromyalgia.

Conditions

Fibromyalgia

Keywords

Resistance training; Fibromyalgia; web based

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Neuromuscular performance - Vertical jump

  A force platform is used to measure the vertical jump of the lower limbs. The greater the vertical jump height in centimeters, the better the performance is considered to be.

  Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining

• Neuromuscular performance - Medicine ball throw

  The medicine ball throw test is used to assess neuromuscular performance of the upper limbs. The greater the distance in centimeters, the better the muscle performance is considered to be.

  Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Assessment of postural control based on the variable "Mean velocity of Center of Pressure (CoP)"

  Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining

• Assessment of postural control based on the variable "95% confidence ellipse area"

  Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining

• Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire

  Baseline, after 8 weeks and after 4 weeks of detraining

• Symptoms

  Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining

• The Short Falls Efficacy Scale International (Short FES-I)

  Baseline, after 8weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining.
