Abstract

The aim of the present study was to review and discuss the literature on exercise-induced pain and physical fitness training in patients with fibromyalgia. Normal muscle metabolism during exercise and no muscle damage after physical activity are reported from recent studies. However, no rise in blood noradrenaline concentration during exercise was found in fibromyalgia patients as compared with a many-folded rise in healthy subjects. Exercise has been used in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Training has shown little benefit as regards pain, but has improved the physical fitness of the patients. Since pain may be exacerbated by physical activity, many patients become physically inactive, with possible development of reduced physical fitness. In the long run, fibromyalgia patients who exercise report less symptoms than sedentary patients do. Thus, exercise should be aimed at preventing physical inactivity and improving the patients' physical fitness.
