Fitness and perceived exertion in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome
NIELENS H; BOISSET V; MASQUELIER E
CLIN J PAIN , 2000, vol. 16, n° 3, p. 209-213 Doc n°: 97476 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DA52 - MALADIES RHUMATISMALES The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness ans perceived exertion of female patients with fibromyalgia syndrome -FMS) compared with that of healthy female subjects This was designed as a cross-sectional case-control study, with a consecutive sample of 30 female patients with FMS and an age-matched control group of 67 healthy female subjects. Cardiorespiratory fitness, as expressed by a submaximal work capacity index, seems normal in female patients with FMS compared with age- and sex- ùatched healthy individuals. The fact that FMS patients overscore their perception of exertion may be due to a greater overlap of peripheral pain and perceived exertion perceptions during exercise. This observation should be noted when using perceived exertion scores to prescribe and monitor exercise in FMS patients. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2000213402 |
