What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the preference of women with fibromyalgia for different volumes of resistance training. It will involve a crossover randomized design where 36 participants will experience three distinct resistance training programs. The primary focus is on understanding patient preferences regarding training volume, while secondary outcomes will evaluate pain intensity, affect, and perceived exertion. Statistical analyses will be conducted to determine the significance of the findings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Not a fit: Patients who have performed resistance training in the last six months or have other rheumatic conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help tailor resistance training programs to better suit the preferences and needs of women with fibromyalgia, potentially improving their quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on resistance training for fibromyalgia, this specific focus on patient preference for training volume is relatively novel.
