Menstrual disorders were not reported as a possible secondary effect in any of the clinical trials for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability Biodex Balance System in elderly.Fortyfive subjects aged 66±5.5 years old and weight 71.6±9.8 kg were tested on System.In order calculate reliability, Fall Risk Test (FRt) Postural Stability (PSt) measured two separate occasions 7 days apart.Every subject completed Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) questionnaire first day testing.The Index (FRi) showed a good ICC (.80) low percentage variation method error.The Overall (OSi)...
Objective. The aim of this study was to validate the modified 2010 ACR preliminary criteria for FM in a Spanish population. Methods. Five hundred and seventy-nine (550 women) 294 (240 control participants were enrolled study. patients previously diagnosed by rheumatologist. All underwent both 1990 (1990c) (m-2010c). Results. tender points count showed correlations 0.69, 0.65 0.71 with widespread pain index (WPI), symptoms severity (SS) polysymptomatic distress (PSD) scales, respectively (all...
Objective To characterize the levels of objectively measured time spent in sedentary activities (sedentary time) and physical female patients with fibromyalgia compare them age‐matched healthy control women. Methods The study comprised 413 (mean ± SD age 51.9 7.4 years) 188 subjects (age 50.9 7.5 years). Sedentary time, amount engaged activity, step counts were using triaxial accelerometry. amounts (minutes/day) during which participants behaviors as well activity different intensities...
The aim of the present study was to determine reliability and feasibility physical fitness tests in female fibromyalgia patients. 100 patients (aged 50.6±8.6 years) performed following twice (7 days interval test–retest): chair sit reach, back scratch, handgrip strength, arm curl, stand, 8 feet up go, 6-min walk. Significant differences between test retest were found curl (mean difference: 1.25±2.16 repetitions, Cohen <i>d</i>=0.251), stand (0.99±1.7 <i>d</i>=0.254) go (−0.38±1.09 s,...
Objective To determine the effects of a 3-month multidisciplinary intervention on pain (primary outcome), body composition and physical fitness (secondary outcomes) in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods 75 FM were allocated to low-moderate intensity (three times/week) (pool, land-based psychological sessions) programme (n=33) or usual care group (n=32). The outcome variables threshold, (body mass index estimated fat percentage) (30 s chair stand, handgrip strength, sit reach, back...
This population-based cross-sectional study aimed to characterize the association of different components physical fitness with pain levels, pain-related catastrophizing, and chronic self-efficacy in women fibromyalgia (FM).A total 468 FM participated. The experience was assessed tools (algometry, a numeric rating scale [revised impact questionnaire], visual analog scale, bodily subscale on Short Form 36 health survey). We also catastrophizing self-efficacy. Physical performance-based tests...
To examine the association between pain and functional capacity levels.[corrected] Cross-sectional study.University of Granada.One hundred twenty-three women with fibromyalgia (51.7 ± 7.2 years).We measured weight height, body mass index (BMI) was calculated. We assessed tender points by pressure means 30-second chair stand, handgrip strength, sit reach, back scratch, blind flamingo, 8-ft up go 6-minute walk tests.We observed an count stand tests (r = -0.273, P 0.004 r -0.183, 0.046,...
People with fibromyalgia experience a disagreement between patient-reported (i.e., subjective) and performance-based objective) status. This study aimed to (i) corroborate the discordance subjectively objectively measured physical function (ii) examine whether catastrophizing (worrying, pain magnifying, helpless cognitions) self-efficacy (believing capable manage pain) are independently associated this discordance.This population-based cross-sectional included 405 women 193 age-matched...
The aim of this study was to identify subgroups in terms adaptation FM and test differences severity between these subgroups.The al-Ándalus project made it possible perform a comprehensive population-based cross-sectional 486 patients including multiple assessments modifiable (could be targeted therapy) resilience vulnerability factors, measured by objective subjective assessments, related psychological physical function. assessed means impact (total score the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact...
This study was aimed to analyze the associations of objectively measured physical activity (PA), sedentary time, and fitness with mental health in early second trimester (16 ± 2 gestational weeks) pregnancy.From 229 women initially contacted, 124 pregnant participated present cross-sectional study. Data were collected between November 2015 March 2017. The participants wore Actigraph GT3X+ Triaxial accelerometers for 9 consecutive days measure their PA levels time. A performance-based test...
Consumption of high-protein (HP) diets is postulated to exert a negative influence on bone and renal health. However, no conclusive evidence has been presented related this issue or the potential protective action resistance training HP-induced systemic effects. We examined effects HP diet consumption food intake, body-weight gain, body composition, renal, metabolic parameters rats performing training. A total ninety-six adult male Wistar were randomly distributed in twelve experimental...
We aimed to determine the ability of a set physical fitness tests discriminate between presence/absence fibromyalgia ( FM ) and moderate/severe . The sample comprised 94 female patients (52 ± 8 years) 66 healthy women (54 6 years). assessed by means 30‐s chair stand, handgrip strength, sit reach, back scratch, blind flamingo, 8‐feet up go, 6‐min walking tests. Patients were classified as having moderate if score in F ibromyalgia I mpact Q uestionnaire FIQ was <70 severe ≥70. with...
This study aimed to determine the ability of a set physical fitness tests discriminate presence or absence fibromyalgia in women.The sample comprised 487 women with (52.1 ± 8 yr) and 250 control (49.3 9 yr). We assessed using arm curl, 30-s chair stand, handgrip strength, 8-ft up go, 6-min walk, sit reach, back scratch tests. The revised impact questionnaire was used assess severity symptomatology.Patients performed worse than all studied (all, P < 0.001). receiver operating characteristic...
Background. The purpose was to analyze the effects of Tai-Chi training in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods. Thirty-two FM (mean age, 51.4 ± 6.8 years) attended intervention 3 sessions weekly for 28 weeks. outcome measures were: tenderness, body composition, functional capacity and psychological outcomes (Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ), Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36)). Results. Patients showed improvements on pain threshold, total number tender points algometer score (all P...
During pregnancy, a sedentary lifestyle may have negative consequences on maternal and foetal health status. The main objective of this project is to assess the effects an exercise intervention in overweight grade I obese pregnant markers. present study aims recruit 60 women interested participating program from 17th gestational week until delivery. Women will be randomized either (three 60-min sessions/week combined aerobic strength training pelvic floor exercises), or usual care (control)...
The al-Andalus physical activity intervention study is a randomised control trial to investigate the effectiveness of land- and water-based exercise for reducing overall impact fibromyalgia (primary outcome), improving tenderness pain-related measures, body composition, functional capacity, sedentary behaviour, fatigue, sleep quality, health-related quality life, cognitive function (secondary outcomes) in women with fibromyalgia.One hundred eighty (age range: 35-65 years) will be recruited...
