The aim of this study is to investigate relation between
cardiopulmonary performance and muscular microcirculation in patients
with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Twenty-one female sedentary patients who were diagnosed as FMS, and
15 sedentary females were enrolled in to the study. All participants
underwent a modified Bruce multistage maximal treadmill protocol with
metabolic measurements and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy measurements.
Exercise sessions were performed 3 times a week for 8 weeks.
The results of the study suggest that cardiopulmonary system in
charge of delivering oxygen to whole body and muscular
microcirculation may have dysfunction in patients with FMS.
