[en] In search of the effect caused by aerobic and combined exercise (aerobic with localized muscular resistance) in Fibromyalgia, a longitudinal study was carried out using 2 groups, with three times a week regular practice throughout 24 weeks. For evaluation of the two groups, called Aerobic Group (AG) and Combined Group (CG), behavior of the following variables was monitored: 1) study of the body composition 2) study of the respiratory function 3) cardio-respiratory study 4) study of the strength 5) visual numeric scale (VNS) for evaluation of pain 6) Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ –P). Nonparametric statistical tests were applied. The level of significance considered was (p<0.05). The participants of this study presented low functional capacity of respiratory, cardio-respiratory and muscular-skeletal systems. Overweight with high % fat mass (FM) was verified in the initial stage, having a significant change (p<0.05) in the final stage. It was also found a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the change of the % fat-free mass (FFM). Body Mass Index (BMI) was relevant to this study considering that overweight was altered up to normality. It was demonstrated an alteration of the result of VO2máx, which had been classified as weak in the initial stage, what can be considered an effect of training on the anaerobic threshold (AT). It was also possible to assess an increase of the strength with an initial charge of 40% reaching 60 % of the maximal strength. The answers obtained in the VNS chart showed that physical and pain recuperation were both slow. The answers to the FIQ questionnaires in the final stage suggest persistence of the painful symptoms, however with less intensity, frequency and duration. According to the results showed in this study, we reached the conclusion that the practice of both programs "aerobic" and "combined" should be valorized. However, the combined modality showed higher tendency to provide an efficient physical global recuperation. Gradually, adaptation to the training took place, changing the initial state of symptomatic and limited individuals, into a state of normality. The integration of the functional respiratory practice as an exercise was extremely opportune. The complementary of the scale VNS and the FIQ - P resulted in an increase of the global evaluation.

[es] En busca del efecto provocado por el ejercicio aeróbico y el combinado en la fibromialgia, se realizó un estudio longitudinal prospectivo utilizando 2 grupos. Se monitoreó el comportamiento de las siguientes variables: 1) el estudio de los compartimientos corporales, 2) el estudio de la función respiratoria, 3) el estudio cardiorrespiratorio, 4) el estudio de la fuerza, 5) la escala visual numérica (EVN) para evaluación del dolor y 6) el cuestionario de impacto de calidad de vida (FIQ - P). Fueron aplicados tests estadísticos de los tipos no-paramétricos y effect size. El nivel de significancia considerado fue p<0.05. Las participantes presentán exceso de peso, baja capacidad funcional de los sistemas respiratorio, cardiorrespiratorio y músculo-esquelético. Se constata estadisticamente alteración de los compartimientos corporales, efecto de los entreinamientos por alteración del la eficacia muscular respiratoria, del VO2máx y, sobre todo, el efecto del entrenamiento sobre el umbral anaeróbico (AT) y de la fuerza. Los síntomas dolorosos de la fibromialgia persisten pero con menor intensidad, frecuencia y duración. De acuerdo con los resultados se conclui que la práctica de ambos programas "aeróbico" y "combinado" debe ser valorizada. Sin embargo, el modo combinado demostró una mayor tendencia de eficacia en la recuperación física global. La integración de la práctica funcional respiratoria con el ejercicio es fuertemente pertinente. La utilización complementar de la escala EVN y del FIQ-P agregaron el proceso de la evaluación global.
