Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is verify the effects of a 8 weeks strength training, on balance, neuromuscular performance and symptomatology of fibromyalgia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty participants will be recruited. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to the control group or experimental group. Before the training period, symptoms, balance and neuromuscular performance will be assessed. Participants in the experimental group will perform strength training twice a week (50 min each) for eight weeks. Then, four weeks of detraining will be completed.
