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.
Volunteers who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia were recruited and invited to participate in an sixteen sessions of a web-based resistance training programme, followed by a one-month detraining period. Before the intervention began, a face-to-face assessment was conducted to evaluate balance, neuromuscular performance, symptoms and the impact of fibromyalgia. The intervention involved two 50-minute sessions, followed by four weeks of detraining.

| Web based resistance training | Other | The web-based resistance training protocol was completed over the course of sixteen sessions, with each session lasting fifty minutes and occurring twice a week on alternate days. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of postural control based on the variable "Mean velocity of Center of Pressure (CoP)" | The force plate is used to assess postural control with the eyes open and closed, during unipodal support and dual tasks (recalling a stressful day) tests. Increased velocity means (mm/s), means poorer postural control. | Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining |

| Assessment of postural control based on the variable "95% confidence ellipse area" | The force plate is used to assess postural control with the eyes open and closed, during unipodal support and dual tasks (recalling a stressful day) tests. The larger the area of the ellipse (mm2), the poorer the postural control. | Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining |
| Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire | Questionnaire to access information on the functional capacity and health status of individuals with fibromyalgia. It is composed of 20 questions. Values range from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating a greater impact of fibromyalgia. | Baseline, after 8 weeks and after 4 weeks of detraining |
| Symptoms | Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to assess the intensity of pain, anxiety, quality of sleep, fatigue and mood state. The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. | Baseline, after 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining |
| The Short Falls Efficacy Scale International (Short FES-I) | The questionnaire consists of seven questions related to concerns about falling during daily activities. Values range from a minimum of 7 (no concern about falling) to a maximum of 28 (severe concern about falling), and are categorised as low concern (7-8), moderate concern (9-13), and high concern (14-28). | Baseline, after 8weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of detraining. |
