Abstract in brief

  • Exercise training, including aerobic, muscle strengthening, and flexibility exercises, is commonly recommended to help manage fibromyalgia symptoms such as pain and reduced physical function.
  • Researchers reviewed multiple studies to evaluate how different types of exercise impact overall wellbeing, symptoms, and physical abilities in people with fibromyalgia, analyzing data from various clinical trials.
  • The review found some evidence that exercise can improve physical fitness and symptoms, but due to differences among studies, only certain types of exercise (primarily aerobic and strength training) were conclusively analyzed.
