Program of Supervised Occlusive Aerobic Training in People With Fibromyalgia.

A 9-week Program of Supervised Occlusive Aerobic Training in People With Fibromyalgia in a Hospital Setting, and Its Impact on Blood/Plasma Variables, Quality of Life and Functional Autonomy.

Occlusive training in people with fibromyalgia

Intervention study in people with fibromyalgia with the implementation of a lower body occlusive tool in aerobic exercise. The study aims to descriptively test the impact on quality of life and functional autonomy of occlusive training in a controlled and individualized way in two groups: group 1 aerobic exercise with use of occlusive tool and group 2, aerobic exercise without occlusive tool in a period of 9 weeks twice a week.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Symptoms have been present, at a similar level, during the last three months.
• The patient has no other pathology that could explain the pain.
• Recent negative COVID-19 test.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other associated pathologies that may hinder the development of the research.
• Mobility limitations.
• Injuries that add to those of the disease itself and hinder mobility.
• No medical evaluation of the diagnosis of the disease.
• Negative results in the inclusion tests.
• Cardiac pathologies.
