In this study, yoga, aerobic exercise, resistance exercise training in female individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome; It was aimed to compare their effectiveness on fatigue, quality of life and pain.

Detailed Description

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

The study was planned as a randomized controlled study. Participants will be divided into 3 groups by simple randomization method. groups will be named as aerobic, yoga and resistance exercise groups. 12-week exercise protocols will be applied to all participants. Participants before and after treatment; The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, the McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain assessment, the Chalder Fatigue Scale to assess their fatigue level, will be filled in by the participants before and after the study. The data obtained will be statistically analyzed.

aerobic group

only a separate aerobic exercise will be given

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

aerobic

Intervention Type OTHER

We can think of aerobic exercise as a low-intensity long-term activity using large muscle groups (between 60-80% of maximal heart rate). For example; includes activities such as walking, cycling, jogging, aerobic dancing, swimming.

An average of 50 minutes of exercise per day will be required, 3 days a week.

resistant group

aerobic and resistance exercises will be given

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

aerobic

Intervention Type OTHER
